Marriage principles that guarantees happy, healthy, satisfying and long-lasting union (Part 3)

Marriage is not about meeting your spouse halfway 50/ 50. In a happy & healthy marriage each spouse gives 100% total commitment unconditionally & independent of what the other spouse does. The Bible doesn't say, “a man should love his wife only if she will submit.” Or, “a woman should submit to her husband only if he loves her.” The Bible just says it is the husband's responsibility to love his wife (Ephesians 5:25) & it is the wife's’ responsibility to submit (Ephesians 5:22). If the husband will commit to love his wife as Christ loved the church then he makes it much easier for the wife to submit. If the wife will submit, then she makes it much easier for her husband to love her. But God's command for husband to love & for wife to submit in the Lord, is unconditional & independent of what the other spouse does all!" Proverbs 31:29.
Most marriage problems are caused by spouses who continue to think, act and behave like they're still single. You are married. Therefore do the honorable; think married, act married and behave married. It is that simple. Falling in love is effortless and it is easy. But staying in love and staying loving is a decision, and a work that is often not so easy. Spouses that make the decision and commitment to stay in love & loving through it all will make it through all the rough times and come out stronger.
The greatest gift you can give your children is the visible example of a loving couple and the unforgettable experience of a happy home. Your children are watching you daily & with terrible exactness they faithfully record everything they see and hear. What your children hear and see at home every day is surely shaping the way they view marriage. Your children are making lasting opinions on marriage and love based on what they see and hear in your marriage.
Let your children grow up looking forward to getting married. The best way to teach your children about godly marriages is to model one. Monkey see monkey do. Let your marriage be what you want your children’s marriage to be.
Avoid boredom in the bedroom. Don’t turn your bedroom into a courtroom. Leave unfinished business, quarrels & fights out of the bedroom. Let your bedroom be a place of bonding & intimacy with your spouse. Let your bedroom be a place of peace, prayer & play. Let your bedroom be a place of security & refuge for your spouse. Let your bedroom be a place to unwind & relax with your spouse. It is in the bedroom on the sacred marriage bed where the oneness of marriage is perfected. Make your bedroom exceptionally pleasant & the most peaceful room in your house. Make the bedroom so enticing & fascinating that the thought of coming home to the bedroom will cause your spouse to leave everyone & everything to come home running to you.
Great marriages are not built overnight. Two unique people who grew up in different places, under different circumstances & from different parents cannot suddenly become one flesh. God said "the two shall become one flesh." He didn't say "the two shall suddenly become one flesh." Give God time to perfect the union. Give the Holy Spirit time transform you & your spouse. The oneness of marriage is a work of a lifetime. Thou shall not marry if you are still a boy or girl at heart! Marriage is for men and women at heart, not by age but by maturity! There are 25 years old men and 50 years old boys! Any man that beats his wife is a boy no matter his age. Any lady that connives with people to humiliate her husband is not just à girl but a baby! À good woman builds her home but foolish ones tears it down with their tongues and lack of respect. À wise man builds his home with wisdom and maturity not with boyish behavior and lack of tolerance!
The question is, are you a boy or girl? Woman or Man?
The truth is that many women sent their husbands into another woman’s arms with their razor blade tongues. Many men pushed their wives to disrespect them because they did not know how to love and treat à woman.
May God intervene in your homes in Jesus Name!
