Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How You Treat a Treasure - #4138
There's another handoff taking place at a wedding besides a Dad giving his daughter to her new husband. You can't see it, but God is entrusting this woman He made into that man's hands, as well. In fact, the Bible says that "the Lord is acting as the witness between you and the wife of your youth" - and it goes on to make clear that He cares very much about how you treat the treasure He's given you. He doesn't want the "Stradivarius" He created to end up in the hands of a gorilla!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Why There are Desperate Housewives - #4839
Each of us married men should be giving ourselves a little three-question test about how we're treating our wife. First, am I loving her in the ways that make her feel loved? Secondly, am I offering her my exclusive attention on a regular basis? Thirdly, am I building her confidence by frequently praising her for specific strengths I see in her? The man who can answer "yes" to those questions is really a man - a provider for his woman's greatest needs.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Loving by Anticipating - #4164
Now, if anticipating your needs means something in a restaurant, imagine how much it means in a marriage! Actually, I saw some married friends in a local restaurant recently, friends who have been married a long time. Based on some things he had said, I made this observation, "These sound like the best years you've ever had together." He smiled broadly and said, "Yeah - because after 40 years, I'm learning not just to meet her needs, but to anticipate her needs."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Girl Watching - God is Watching #4186
It's actually a message the Creator of women would more than agree with. A woman is depersonalized, sexualized, trivialized by the way many men look at them - and she's the creation of a holy God; a Father in heaven. And you know how fierce a father is about protecting His daughter!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Invisible Victim - #4858
Right now you may be involved in something you know is wrong - it's a compromise, it's rebellion, it's wrong. You say, "Well, it's not hurting anyone." Oh yes, it is. When Jesus' right hand man, Peter, denied him, the Bible says that Peter went out and wept bitterly over it - but only after Jesus, on His way to His trial, turns and looks straight at Peter. And suddenly Peter realized he wasn't just breaking laws. He was breaking his Savior's heart.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Skunk Approach - #4888
Don't let sex too soon, or adulterous sex lure you to get so close to something that it will cost you more than you ever intended to pay, and take you where you never intended to go.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The "Go To" God That's Got to Go - #4905
Your marriage commitment, as important as it is, is the second most important commitment in your life. And it's far behind the most important one. The most important commitment of your life is the one you make to Jesus Christ, because He's the One who died for you. He's your only hope for now and forever. He's the One you were made by and made for.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How to Build a Storm-Proof Marriage - #5002
No other passion, no more important voice, no accumulating anger, no reckless words, no back door: five commitments - five walls to protect your marriage from the storms that could destroy it. Build those walls high, build them strong. That kind of love is more powerful than any storm.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Gift You Don't Want to Ruin - #5003
God really cares about what you do with your love. He cares that you experience all the love that He's planned for you; most of all, His love. If you've given away sexually what never should have been given, God has two hope-giving words for you: "clean" and "renewed."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Drinking Dirt - #5008
Guard your heart as the spiritual reservoir from which you drink all day long. If it's a "bad one," you've got to turn it off if you're serious about really being His man or woman. If you don't want to let dirt into the Holy Spirit's house, filter what you let come in. You wouldn't knowingly let your mouth drink dirt. Well, then, don't let your soul do it!
