1. ROLES OF THE HUSBAND AND HIS WIFE

A. The teacher should explain the role of a good husband in marriage as indicated below:

i. A husband who loves his wife should celebrate her always (Prov.31:28b); be her best friend, appreciate her and share in her feelings. (Gen.26:8).
ii. A good husband should protect and shield his wife from being disrespected by others. (Eph.5:29).
iii. He also respects her opinions, wishes, beliefs and communicates without using abusive words. (Col.3:19; 4:6).
iv. He does not force her to give up on her dreams to follow his, rather, they talk things through to see what works for both of them. (Rom.12:10).
v. The husband should focus on the strength of his wife and talk less about her weaknesses (discuss the gray issues and pray together for a change). 1Pet. 3:7; 4:8
vi. Do not lose the romance. (SOS.1:2; Prov.5:19). To be romantic, a husband should keep in mind important dates (wedding anniversary, birthdays, etc.). (Rom. 12:15).

RCCG Sunday School HYMN

O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
O how I love Thee well,
I am happy, it makes me glad
To rejoice at Thy birth.
O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
Thy friendship suits me well,
Both young and old will sing Thy song,
We long for Sunday School.
O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
Christ was Thy first teacher,
The Holy Spirit, great teacher,
Does manifest in thee.
O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
This testimony is sure,
That God, the Father Almighty,
Poured His blessing on Thee.
O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
Though the sun be so bright,
Or if the clouds black with rain,
I’ll be in Sunday School.
O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
I rejoice to see Thee,
Will thou pass over me today?
Without my being blest?
