Matt Chandler – Mingling of Souls

This is session 1 from the series – An updated teaching of Song of Solomon by Matt Chandler via The Hub on Vimeo. Matt Chandler is the Pastor of the Village Church in Highland Village, Texas. Points from the series:
Matt:
- I’ll never deny that the physical attraction between a man and a woman is an important deal but, it can’t stop there. It has to very, very, very, very, very quickly move past physical attraction.
- I don’t think you have any business dating if you don’t know what you want and you haven’t defined what you’re looking for and haven’t defined what you’re willing to wait on.
- We’ve been called by God, as husbands, to love our wife like Christ loved the Church. That means, we love her, regardless of her response to those things. It’s the hardest thing in marriage, by far… by far, because as men we want to love to get something in return.
- Never speak rashly to your mate. Never touch your mate in anger. Never embarrass your mate publicly. Never argue in front of your kids or use the kids to win an argument. Never mention the in-laws. Never get historical.
- I think the only way to become an expert on your spouse is to listen. To actually listen to what they say.

Thanks for sharing these points and the links…I really respect Matt Chandler and enjoy listening to his messages, but I’d somehow missed this series! Again, thanks!

Christie, thanks for your comment. This series is geared towards parents and 18-30 yr olds and I appreciate Matt Chandler’s frankness in discussing a somewhat ‘controversied’ subject, but it is a part of Scripture and needs to be discussed.

“It is a part of Scripture and needs to be discussed.” Exactly!
Society is constantly giving relationship ‘advice’ — we definitely need Biblically based teaching to guide us through God’s plan for marriage.
