We have a lot of young listeners who are heading into marriage without a lot of examples

in their lives to learn from and they are asking some really good questions about the

basics of marriage.

One such listener is Cassie who writes in to ask this, hello Pastor John, I'm engaged

and need practical advice.

What does it mean and look like for me to submit to my husband?

God loves His people, God loves Cassie and does not command us things that are bad for

us.

That's just so basic in this issue.

God is a good father, he knows manhood, he knows womanhood, he knows them deeply and

he knows how deeply life can be beautiful together when these things are lived out according

to his good purposes.

He has given us, he's given to you Cassie, amazing gifts of sexuality and amazing gifts

of difference between manhood and womanhood that go deeper than sexual organs.

We are male and female all the way down and this is so great and so precious and so pervasive

and so profound and so powerful that I think we would be foolish to experiment.

With it, from generation to generation, the way the world does.

Like this makes something new out of what women are.

Let's just make something new out of what men are.

We would be wise with only one life to live, to listen to our maker, our designer, our

father, our friend, our redeemer and bring our manhood and womanhood into line with what

he has revealed.
