Fireproof Your Marriage I

 
Dear loved one,


1.     Pay Close attention to your Communication style. Don't run your marriage on assumptions. Don't ever assume that your spouse heard you each time you speak.

2.     Be Accountable to people with proven marriages. You have access to counsels that are sound because most issues we grasp with can be resolved through objective counsel.

3.     Your Associations speaks volume. Your friends can either help build up or destroy your relationships. Your current friends actually predict your future in marriage.

4.     Create time for your family. Marriage is like a well tendered garden. You have the responsibility to nurture yours so it won't be overgrown with weeds. There is no perfect man and woman out there. We are all work in progress with God at work in us.

5.     Understand the unique need of your spouse. Seek to understand their love language and discover what matters to them. Everyone is confronted with matter of differences. The issue are not such differences but how we access godly wisdom to sort them out.

6.     Don't be absorbed in self-indulgence habits like flirting, use of nicotine, alcohol and pornography just because you think the relationship with your spouse is not working. You can do yourself more harm than a replacement therapy.

They are qualities in your spouse that you can't find in any other person on the planet no matter how you try to substitute them. Confront the reality and resolve the challenges in your marriage. Divorce is not an option to be considered each time you are confronted with challenges because the pain of divorce is bigger than the act. Always remember this: love is not a feeling but simply a decision made from your heart. Marriage is constant work in progress. We must be committed to work ours out

Have a great week!
Shalom!
