1. There is nothing that
threatens the security of a man than the thought of another man competing for
the attention and affection of his wife. Nothing is more painful. Nothing is
more disrespecting. Nothing is more insulting. Nothing is more belittling and
degrading.
2. Marriage flourishes
when the couples work together as a team; when both husband and wife decide
that winning together is more important than keeping score.
Good marriages don't
just happen. They are a product of hard work.
3. Your children are
watching you and forming lasting opinions on love, commitment, and marriage
based on what they see in you. Give them hope. Make them look forward to
marriage.
4. Husbands: The reason
why other women look attractive is because someone is taking good care of them.
Grass is always green where it is watered. Instead of drooling over the green
grass on the other side of the fence, work on yours and water it regularly. Any
man can admire a beautiful woman, but it takes a true gentleman to make a woman
admirable and beautiful.
5. When a husband puts
his wife first above everyone and everything except God, it gives his wife the
sense of security and honor that every wife hungers for.
6. A successful marriage
doesn't require a big house, a perfect spouse, a million dollars or an
expensive car. You can have all the above and still have a miserable marriage.
A successful marriage requires honesty, undying commitment and selfless love
and Jesus at the center of it all.
7. Pray for your spouse
every day; in the morning, in the afternoon and at evening. Don’t wait until
there is a problem. Don’t wait until there is an affair. Don’t wait until
something bad happens. Don’t wait until your spouse is tempted. Shield your
spouse with prayer and cover your marriage with the fence of prayer.
8. The people you
surround yourself with have a lot of influence on your marriage. Friends can
build or break your marriage; choose them wisely.
9. One spouse cannot
build a marriage alone when the other spouse is committed to destroying it.
Marriage works when both husband and wife work together as a team to build
their marriage.
10. Don't take your
spouse for granted. Don't take advantage of your spouse's meekness and
goodness. Don't mistake your spouse's loyalty for desperation. Don't misuse or
abuse your spouse's trust. You may end up regretting after losing someone that
meant so much to you.
11. Beware of marital
advice from single people. Regardless of how sincere their advice may be, most
of it is theoretical and not derived from real life experiences. If you really
need Godly advice, seek it from God-fearing, impartial and prayerful mature
couples whose resolve has been tested by time and shaped by trials.
12. Dear wife, Don't
underestimate the power of the tongue on your marriage. The tongue has the
power to crush your marriage or build it up. Don't let the Devil use your
tongue to kill your spouse's image, self-confidence and aspirations. Let God
use your tongue to build up your marriage and bless and praise your spouse.
