SECRETS OF GREAT A MARRIAGE
Marriage
works when husband and wife fight together as a team for their marriage. When
husband and wife fight each other, accuse each other and point fingers at each
other they destroy their marriage with their own hands. Realize that the Devil,
not your spouse, is the real enemy. Regardless of who is wrong, remain on the
same side, on the same team, supporting and encouraging each other, and
fighting the real enemy together. The greatest time to show unconditional love,
unmerited forgiveness and undeserved support is when your spouse is wrong and
they don’t deserve it. Regardless of what is happening in your marriage, let
your marriage be team.
Don’t
Preach to Your Spouse. Don’t demand love, attention, respect & affection. Rather
show your spouse how it’s supposed to be done. Be the change you want to see in
your spouse. Live your sermon; don’t preach it. Demonstrate your love; don’t
demand it.
Don’t
talk bad about your husband to anyone ever and the reverse is true to husbands
protect your wife when she isn't around. Don’t ever badmouth her or let anyone
else do this you are a team. Anyone who gossips about your spouse to you is
breaking you down as a union and a threat to your happy marriage. That person
needs to be corrected or avoided. Not condoned or humored. If they can rudely
tear down your spouse, you can rudely cut them off and tell them disrespecting
your partner is unacceptable and won’t be tolerated.
If
you are weak and allow it, your partner won’t be able to rely on you or your
relationship, won’t believe you or have faith in you and outsiders will see
your marriage as weak and penetrable. Your spouse should be able to rely on you
and believe that you have a strong marriage.
Protect
your marriage, protect your spouse. Protect each other’s reputations
The
less you focus on my spouse’s faults or complain about him, the better you feel
as a couple. When you complain about your spouse and focus on his faults or
worse, voice them out loud to someone else who is not supposed to hear it, you
see them in a more negative light. Treat them as though you thought less of
them and they respond likewise. If you focus on the positive, it effects how
you see them and treat them. They notice they are happier and want to make you
happier. You feel even better about them…It’s an upward positive spiral.
If
you want a happy marriage, always focus on what is great about your love and if
you want to tell people something about your spouse tell them what you admire,
love and appreciate about him/her.
