Silence is a marriage killer. Avoid it. Communication is always the first initiative in any relationship. Marriages thrive and get richer when there is open and sincere communication. The bible records that the heart is the source of life issues. These hearty issues can either be good or bad. Marriage is a serious engagement of two hearts which flow issues to each other. This can only happen when a husband and wife continuously express their feelings, opinions and ideas without fear or intimidation. Talk about anything that can affect your relationship - good or bad. Do not wait until you get stuck concerning a matter for you to talk. As busy as you are, please create time for each other, listen to each other. When you talk, you build, correct and affirm one another.
These talks must be love driven. For example; when you are correcting your spouse, please do it graciously. Take care of your voice tone, your facial expression and even your body posture. When you are corrected, take it positively and promise to change. Do not try to defend yourself. Believe that your spouse wishes, plans and thinks good towards you. Avoid suspicion. It is dangerous. Any time you are not clear concerning any issue, do not guess, react or make conclusions without understanding details. Do not be seeking to win in an argument. If by chance an argument arises, loose in the argument and you will have won your spouse. Appreciate your spouse publicly and privately but correct him or her in private ONLY.
Marriage Is Incredible
Marriage is an exceptionally incredible institution. When my daughter was seven years old, she could tell me about her boyfriend - Joseph - who happened to be her classmate. She believes Joseph will be her husband despite the fact that he is not clear in his mind about her seriousness of their friendship. That is how incredible marriage is. Both the under aged and the aged, the rich and the poor, the weak and the strong are all giving marriage a very serious thought. The astonishing high rate of divorce is not, will not and should not be a hindrance to any individual from considering and indeed jumping into it, of course at the appropriate time.
Marriage is such an awesome idea that not many consider the many and great responsibilities associated with it before getting into it. Many married couples can not remember when they sat down to plan on how to tackle the challenges they face in their marriages today but the amazing fact is that they are able to maneuver through them all. This means that in a marriage of serious, positive and committed couple, there exists some divine power which when activated, releases sufficient energy, grace and wisdom to face and manage any sort of a crisis or conflict arising.
This being the case, then there is no cause of fear of getting into marriage. Friends, just be sincere. Whether you are single, married, separated, divorced or even windowed, there exists a desire in every sound human being to be in a long lasting and fulfilling companionship. To some, this longing is on the surface and to others, it is hidden deep. To some, it is a top priority while to others; it is just an issue to consider. Whichever way, marriage is wonderful. Go for it, stay in it – whatever applies to you.
