Counseling Resources

Listen

James 1:19

This you know, my beloved brethren But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;

Counsel is good

Proverbs 15:22

Without consultation, plans are frustrated, But with many counselors they succeed.

Proverbs 12:15

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.

Marriage

1 Peter 3:7

You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

Ephesians 5:25

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her

Colossians 3:19

Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.

Colossians 3:18

Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

Ephesians 5:22-23

Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.

1 Peter 3:1-6

In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior.

Your adornment must not be merely external–braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands; just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.

Philippians 2:3-4

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

Therefore, encourage one another, and build each other up, just as you are already doing.
