Loving Leadership (1 Peter 3:7, continued in PM sermon below)
What did you learn from this passage?
Why is it important as a single person to think biblically about what you're looking for in a spouse?
How do you think the roles God gives in a family point to Christ's love and leadership of His church (Eph. 5:22-25)?
How do you think Christians' ignoring God's roles for a family could distort people's perception of Christ's love and leadership of his church?

As a (future) wife, why would you appreciate your husband dwelling with you (presence & intimacy)?
As a (future) husband, what do you think you will do to try to live with your wife in an understanding way (7b)?
