The Vow Series 3 Ptr. Vetty Gutierrez 10AM Morning Service

1. THE
VOW
SERIES 3
GEN 2:18-25

2. GENESIS 2:18-25
18
The L ORD God said, “It is not good for the man
to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
19 Now the L ORD God had formed out of the ground
all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He
brought them to the man to see what he would name
them; and whatever the man called each living
creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave
names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and
all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable
helper was found.

3. GENESIS 2:18-25
21
So the L ORD God caused the man
to fall into a deep sleep; and while he
was sleeping, he took one of the
man‟s ribs and then closed up the
place with flesh. 22 Then
the L ORD God made a woman from
the rib he had taken out of the
man, and he brought her to the man.

4. GENESIS 2:18-25
23
The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called „woman,‟
for she was taken out of man.”
24 That is why a man leaves his father and
mother and is united to his wife, and they
become one flesh.
25 Adam and his wife were both naked, and they
felt no shame.

5. I PROMISE THAT GOD
WILL BE MY NUMBER
ONE PRIORITY AND MY
SPOUSE WILL BE
NUMBER TWO

6. VOW #1, I PROMISE THAT
GOD WILL BE MY NUMBER
ONE PRIORITY AND MY
SPOUSE WILL BE NUMBER
TWO

7. VOW#2, I PROMISE TO
ALWAYS PURSUE MY
NUMBER TWO.

8. GENESIS 2:24
For this reason a man will
leave his father and mother
and be united to his wife,
and they will become one
flesh.

9. ONE- IN HEBREW IT IS
ECHAD (EKH-AWD) WHICH MEANS
UNITED,ALTOGETHER,
COMPLETELY JOINED AS
ONE.

10. UNITED
UNTIED

11. ECCLESIASTES 4:12
Though one may be
overpowered, two can defend
themselves. A cord of three
strands is not quickly
broken.

12. MARRIAGE IS A
COVENANT NOT A
CONTRACT.

13. MALACHI 2:14
You ask, "Why?" It is because the
LORD is acting as the witness
between you and the wife of your
youth, because you have broken
faith with her, though she is your
partner, the wife of your marriage
covenant.

14. MARRIAGE
CONTRACT IS BASED
ON MUTUAL
MISTRUST.

15. MARRIAGE
COVENANT IS BASED
MUTUAL
COMMITMENT.

16. COVENANT - IN HEBREW
IT IS BERIYTH (BER-EETH)
MEANS CUTTING, A
BINDING AGREEMENT, A
BLOOD COVENANT.

17. MARRIAGE IS A HOLY
COVENANT WITH GOD.

18. PARTNERSHIP MEANS STATE OF
BEING PARTNER; WE SHOULD GO
ON WORKING TOGETHER. AS
PARTNERS
YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC GOAL AND
PURPOSE IN ANY ENDEAVOR
THAT YOU WANT TO DO.

19. PARTNERSHIP MEANS STATE OF
BEING PARTNER; WE SHOULD GO
ON WORKING TOGETHER. AS
PARTNERS
YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC GOAL AND
PURPOSE IN ANY ENDEAVOR
THAT YOU WANT TO DO.

20. VOW #3
I PROMISE OUR
MARRIAGE WILL BE
ABOUT WE AND NOT
ME.

21. 1
THE POWER OF WE.

22. LUKE 11:17
Jesus knew their thoughts and
said to them: "Any kingdom
divided against itself will be
ruined, and a house divided
against itself will fall.

23. ANYTHING THAT IS
DISUNITED FAILS. YOU
CAN NOT BE SUCCESSFUL
AS A COUPLE IF YOU ARE
DISUNITED.

24. DEUTERONOMY 32:30
How could one man chase a
thousand, or two put ten
thousand to flight, unless their
Rock had sold them, unless the
LORD had given them up?

25. THE POWER OF UNITY
IS EXPONENTIAL

26. ECCLESIASTES 4:9-12
Two are better than one, because they have
a good return for their work: If one falls
down, his friend can help him up. But pity
the man who falls and has no one to help
him up! Also, if two lie down together, they
will keep warm. But how can one keep
warm alone? Though one may be
overpowered, two can defend themselves. A
cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

27. THE POWER IS LIMITLESS
IN UNITY. IN UNITY
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
WHEN COUPLE IS
UNITED, THEY BECOME
POWERFUL.

28. 2
MARRIAGE IS
ABOUT WE NOT ME.

29. MARRIAGE IS ABOUT
DEATH, IT IS A BLOOD
COVENANT, IT MEANS
DYING TO YOURSELF, IT
MEANS DEATH TO
YOURSELF

30. YOU DIE AND SHE
DIES AND FORM A
NEW LIFE.

31. PHILIPPIANS 2:3-4
Do nothing out of selfish ambition
or vain conceit, but in humility
consider others better than
yourselves. Each of you should
look not only to your own
interests, but also to the interests
of others.

32. EPHESIANS 2:14
For he himself is our
peace, who has made the two
one and has destroyed the
barrier, the dividing wall of
hostility,

33. SELFISHNESS IS THE
REASON THAT’S WHY
MARRIAGE FAILS.

34. HOW DO WE BECOME
GOOD PARTNERS AS
A COUPLE?

35. 1
COMMUNICATE
OPENLY

36. CONSIDER YOUR
PARTNER AS YOUR
BEST FRIEND SO YOU
COULD COMMUNICATE
OPENLY.

37. AS A COUPLE YOU MUST
HAVE AN EFFECTIVE
AND HONEST
COMMUNICATION.

38. THE #1 REASON WHY
MARRIAGE
PARTNERSHIPS WERE
DISSOLVED: IS POOR
COMMUNICATION

39. ALL OF US ARE GOOD
COMMUNICATORS BEFORE
WE GET MARRIED BUT
AFTER FEW YEARS OF
MARRIAGE WE BECOME
POOR IN COMMUNICATION..

40. CONFLICTS ARE NOT
ISSUES, UNRESOLVED
CONFLICTS ARE THE
PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF
POOR COMMUNICATION.

41. STRONG COMMUNICATION
BECOMES STRONG
PARTNERSHIP.

42. 2
DOING LIFE
TOGETHER

43. 3
DISCOVER YOUR
COMMON
PURPOSE.

44. WHEN YOU DON’T TALK
AND DO NOT DO LIFE
TOGETHER THEN YOU CAN
NOT DISCOVER YOUR
COMMON PURPOSE.

45. GENESIS 2:18
The LORD God said, "It is
not good for the man to be
alone. I will make a helper
suitable for him."

46. NOT JUST ONLY MAKE
BABIES BUT TO HAVE
PARTNER IN EVERYTHING
WE DO, ENJOY LIFE WITH
YOUR SPOUSE, SERVE GOD
AND FORM A GODLY FAMILY.

47. YOU MUST HAVE ONE
VISION AND GO WITH
THE SAME DIRECTION.

48. GENESIS 1:27
So God created man in his
own image, in the image of
God he created him; male
and female he created them.

49. COMMON
PURPOSE:

50. BE FRUITFUL AND
MULTIPLY

51. SUBDUE THE
EARTH

52. RULE OVER IT.

53. COVENANT
PARTNERSHIP
INCLUDES:

54. MUTUAL
SUBMISSION

55. EPHESIANS 5:21
Submit to one another out
of reverence for Christ.

56. GODLY
LEADERSHIP

57. EPHESIANS 5:22-24
Wives, submit to your husbands as
to the Lord. For the husband is the
head of the wife as Christ is the
head of the church, his body, of
which he is the Savior. Now as the
church submits to Christ, so also
wives should submit to their
husbands in everything.

58. TWO SKILLS TO STRENGTHEN
YOUR PARTNERSHIP WITH
YOUR SPOUSE WHEN YOU ARE
EXPERIENCING CONFLICT.

59. 1
SHARE HOW YOU FEEL
AND ASK FOR WHAT
YOU WANT

60. PROVERBS 12:18
“Reckless words pierce
like a sword, but the
tongue of the wise brings
healing.”

wives and do not be harsh
with them.”

AN UNMET NEED.

spirit of timidity, but a
spirit of power, of love
and of self-discipline.”

listening- that is his folly
and his shame.”

“My dear brothers, take note of
this: Everyone should be quick to
listen, slow to speak and slow to
become angry, for man‟s anger
does not bring about the
righteous life that God desires.”

67. 2
SEEK AND GRANT
FORGIVENESS.

68. MATTHEW 6:14-15
“If you forgive those who sin
against you, your heavenly
Father will forgive you. But if
you refuse to forgive
others, your Father will not
forgive your sins.”

69. MATTHEW 7:3-5
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in
your brother‟s eye and pay no attention to
the plank in your own eye? How can you say
to your brother, „Let me take the speck out of
your eye,‟ when all the time there is a plank
in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take
the plank out of your own eye, and then you
will see clearly to remove the speck from
your brother‟s eye. ”

70. EPHESIANS 4:26-27
“In your anger do not sin”:
Do not let the sun go down
while you are still angry,and
do not give the devil a
foothold.

71. PSALM 34:3
“Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name
together.”
