We’re in Part 2 of our series on Confessions of a Bible Powercouple and this week we’re looking at one of the most common dynamics in marriage today: the PASSIVE husband and the CONTROLLING wife.
By looking at the story of Ahab and Jezebel, we see how that dynamic might play out and the results of neglecting to STEP IN to the role that God designed us for.

Here I am, a young girl in her twenties, drowning in the waves of a community I struggle to understand. It is a community that boasts of an ultimate feat: finding a soulmate.
Everywhere you go there seems to be some sort of indication that it is time to start the search for 'the one'.
Read MoreI AM BACK! After sitting on the sidelines for the past few weeks, I was back to wrap up the series on REAL TALK: Adventures in Love, Sex & Dating.
And the final message was my somewhat disorganized way of throwing the kitchen sink at all you singles out there. It was a smorgasbord of advice centered around one central theme - a theme that applies to every area of life, ESPECIALLY MARRIAGE! And that theme is this:
"Promises are no substitute for preparation."
I highly highly HIGHLY recommend every single person to listen to this message. Trust me, it's worth your time.
Week 2 of REAL TALK: Adventures in Love, Sex & Dating and this week, we're talking specifically to the gentlemen (don't worry ladies, it'll be your turn next week!).
In this message, Deacon Michael Guirguis speaks about the one piece of advice that every single (and married) guy needs to hear. And that is with regard to how we view women in society today. If we want to have a marriage according to God's plan, then we need to change how we see women.
What am I talking about? Check out the video and see for yourself.
We kicked off the highly anticipated new series yesterday, called REAL TALK: Adventures in Love, Sex & Dating.
Part 1 of the series addressed one of the myths that so many of us have unfortunately been led to believe - "The Right Person" myth - which says "If I just marry the right person, everything will be alright." You wouldn't fall for that one would you???
Just in case you're not sure, you might want to check out the video message above and see for yourself. Enjoy!
