LESSONS FROM MARRIAGE EXPERIENCES...

For any marriage to work the following must exist in it ;

1. THE WILL TO MAKE IT WORK AGAINST ALL ODDS - because when everything else fails this will be the only thread to hang on.

2. CONSTANT COMMUNICATION - always tell your partner how you feel or how you felt. What you like and what you don't like. How you want it and how you don't want it. NEVER ASSUME he/she knows. Please don't go to bed without resolving that mis-understanding.

3. TRUE LOVE - because if you truly love your partner you will always seek for the best in him/her. Meanwhile what's your business being in marriage with someone you are not drunk in love with?

4. RESPECT AND THE GOLDEN RULE - Treat your partner exactly how you wish to be treated. If you know you won't take shit then don't give shit too.

5. CONTENTMENT - be satisfied with the partner God has given you. Stop comparing your spouse with what you see on TV, social media and the likes. Don't be deceived those are not exactly as they seem. Let your love not be defined by material things.

6. GOD FACTOR - A family that prays together stays together. Make the bible your standard, and ensure to make family prayers and devotion a compulsory daily ritual.

7. BE LESS EXPECTANT AND MORE TOLERANT - always remember nobody is perfect and that includes your spouse. Learn to be patient and don't get tired of talking about the same thing over and over again, yea not fair but you got no better choice. Learn to show love expecting nothing in return so you don;t always get your bubbles busted.

8. OPENNESS - keeping secrets from your spouse is like keeping secrets from yourself. For how long do you think you will hide it?

9. LEARN TO APOLOGIZE, BE POLITE AND SHOW APPRECIATION - We all need to be thought and reminded about the unlimited power in saying simple sorry, thank you and please. I actually had to learn these. These simple words works wonders you can't imagine.

Love, love , love and just don't stop loving and caring for your partner. Even when there's no justifiable reason to keep loving, just show more love. Never be scared to love some more. We are not perfect either but promise to keep trying everyday to be a better husband/wife. I'll recommend everyone to do same too.

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." (1John 4:18)

Bro, That's point number 2 - CONSTANT COMMUNICATION.

Sex is a form of communication. You can bet that if couples are harboring resentment or not communicating appropriately, it shows in their sex life.

Communication affects our total life; our total life affects sex. Couples need to communicate about their hopes, dreams, fears and hurts as well as the daily details of life in order for the relationship to flourish.

you for use some verses from songs of solomon to backup that number 2.
