10 WAYS TO KEEP YOUR MARRIAGE SWEET AND SIMPLE
Marriage is like a garden, it needs to be maintained & worked on; pruning, weeding, cultivating & fertilizing.
If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, it’s because they take care of it. Anyone can admire the beauty of a garden. But it takes time, effort, diligence & work to make any garden admirable.
So How Do You Keep Your Marriage Sweet And Simple?
- Be A Generous Forgiver! An eye for an eye will leave both husband and wife blind. Learn to overlook minor offenses and to forgive your spouse. Whenever you’re wrong admit & apologize quickly; whenever you’re right zip your lips. Love is an endless act of forgiveness. Marital war and divorce are products of unforgiveness. Learn to forgive. A good marriage is the union of two forgivers.
- Follow peace with your spouse. Don’t turn your bedroom into a courtroom. Quarrels and arguments have no place in the bedroom. Let your bedroom be a place of peace, love and intimacy. Couple who fight all the time cannot enjoy the blessing of the Lord. Blessed are the peace makers, for they shall be called the children of God
- Do not let your parents and your siblings, and your friends interfere in your marriage. Anything that you share with parents, siblings and friends behind your spouse’s back is defiling and weakening the sacred bond that exists between you and your spouse. Be mature to settle any issue between you and your spouse!
- Marriage is Teamwork. Marriage flourishes when both husband and wife understand that winning together is more important than keeping score.
- True marriage oneness cannot be achieved by married people who do not practice financial oneness. Whatever you do separately, will separate you. Do things together. Do businesses together, build houses together etc a husband and wife who plan together share a deep level of intimacy that cannot be created any other way.
- Be romantic Show your wife that she is your BAE “Before Anything Else”! Play with your spouse. A husband and wife who play together share a deep level of intimacy that cannot be created any other way. Laugh together and don’t laugh at each other. Rejoice together, bathe together, and take a stroll together, hand in hand.
- There is no my money or your money in marriage, regardless of who earns more or less. Even if only one spouse works outside the home and earns all the money, it’s still our money. What God has join together, let no money put asunder. Couple who are selfish with their money can’t enjoy a sweet marriage.
- You’re not married to an angel. Accept your spouse’s imperfections. Marital happiness is not automatic. It takes the combined effort of husband and wife to make marriage work.
The perfect marriage is one that is made up of two imperfect people who are held together by a Perfect Savior.
- One of the most loving and sweetest things you can do for your spouse is to pray for him/her thanking God for bringing him/her in your life. Pray together with your spouse. Couple who prays together stays together. When husbands and wives pray together, they have more spiritual power due to their unity. Turn your complaints about your spouse into prayers, and watch the Master work
- Husbands and Wives must love each other regardless of their imperfections. Loving your spouse doesn’t mean that you approve of everything that they do, but it does mean that your commitment to them is bigger than all of their flaws.
