The Naked Truth
Part 4

1. Set your standards and don’t compromise them.

2 Corinthians 6:14 NIV
14  Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15  What harmony is there between Christ and Belia? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 

2. You wake up every day and you choose to be committed.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8a
4  Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  5  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  6  Love does not  delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  7  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8  Love never fails. 

3. Speak life into your spouse.

James 3:9-10 NIV
9  With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness.  10  Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.

4. Your spouse will fail.

1 Peter 4:8 NIV
8  Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 

5. Make Jesus the foundation of your relationship.

Psalm 34:3 NIV
Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together.
