1. There is nothing that threatens the security of a wife than the thought of another woman competing for the attention and affection of her husband. Nothing is more painful. Nothing is more disrespecting. Nothing is more insulting. Nothing is more belittling and degrading.

2. Marriage flourishes when the couple works together as a team; when both husband and wife decide that winning together is more important than keeping score. Good marriages don't just happen. They are a product of hard work.

3. Your children are watching you and forming lasting opinions on love, commitment, and marriage based on what they see in you. Give them hope. Make them look forward to marriage.

4. Husbands: The reason why other women look attractive is because someone is taking good care of them. Grass is always green where it is watered. Instead of drooling over the green grass on the other side of the fence, work on yours and water it regularly. Any man can admire a beautiful woman, but it takes a true gentleman to make a woman admirable and beautiful.

5. When a husband puts his wife first above everyone and everything except God, it gives his wife the sense of security and honor that every wife hungers for.

6. A successful marriage doesn't require a big house, a prefect spouse, a million dollars or an expensive car. You can have all the above and still have a miserable marriage. A successful marriage requires honesty, undying commitment and selfless love and Jesus at the center of it all.

7. Pray for your spouse every day; in the morning, in the afternoon and at evening. Don’t wait until there is a problem. Don’t wait until there is an affair. Don’t wait until something bad happens. Don’t wait until your spouse is tempted. Shield your spouse with prayer and cover your marriage with the fence of prayer.

8. The people you surround yourself with have a lot of influence on your marriage. Friends can build or break your marriage; choose them wisely.

9. One spouse cannot build a marriage alone when the other spouse is committed to destroying it. Marriage works when both husband and wife work together as a team to build their marriage.

10. Don't take your spouse for granted. Don't take advantage of your spouse's meekness and goodness. Don't mistake your spouse's loyalty for desperation. Don't misuse or abuse yours spouse's trust. You may end up regretting after losing someone that meant so much to you.

11. Beware of marital advice from single people. Regardless of how sincere their advice may be, most of it is theoretical and not derived from real life experiences. If you really need Godly advice, seek it from God-fearing, impartial and prayerful mature couples whose resolve has been tested by time and shaped by trials.

12. Dear wife, Don't underestimate the power of the tongue on your marriage. The tongue has the power to crush your marriage or build it up. Don't let the Devil use your tongue to kill your spouse's image, self-confidence and aspirations. Let God use your tongue to build up your marriage and bless and praise your spouse.

How do they contradict? Your criticism won't be looked down upon, just feel free to share ur opinion. Life itself is a school, and we are all students learning new things at all times

How is that a contradiction? Do you tell your children not to enjoy/look forward to school because it is hard work?

School is hard work? It wasn't for me. My marriage isn't hard work either.

I enjoy learning.

Awesome.

You shouldn't be afraid of the words hard work, it doesn't imply a negative thing. Anything that requires considerable amount of effort is "hard work". It may not be back breaking labour but it is still tasking either to the brain or the body. I am not going to believe you put no effort into making your marriage successful.

In Nigeria, number 6 is a lie
if you have to work hard in marriage too, when are you supposed to enjoy life?

You enjoy marriage while you work at it. As long as you are married there no off switch or close time when you can now say I am no longer working at my marriage now I am relaxing. You work and enjoy marriage at the same time.

If marriage is trully what it's being packaged to be, then you're wrong.

You work to set it up not to keep it. In fact, the moment you realize you have to work or keep working to sustain your marriage is the moment you should find your exit.

I am not afraid and I am sorry to say it but I don't need your lessons either. I used to think like most of you do here. I dropped this attitude some time ago. My marriage does not require hard work. It works perfectly because we enjoy it by appreciating each other. No effort! Ease!

Very true except number 6.

So you mean the only work marriage requires is during courtship?

Hmmm I doubt there is any marriage that you do not have to work on. Open your ears now, marriage is bloody hard work, don't believe fairy tales. No matter how much you love someone, it is hard to be married to them , trust!

Yes.
You don't work hard and enjoy. You work hard to enjoy.
