Parenting

In a good marriage, two individuals unite and become one, setting aside his wonderful idea and her wonderful idea to find their wonderful ideas together. But how does that happen?

Have you ever thought about the fact that people are watching your marriage and learning from you? What lessons are you teaching them?

We are not suggesting that we have arrived or that we've learned it all. But there is a blessing and reward that comes from trying to do things God’s way.

God gave you a built-in adviser. Respect your mate’s insights, opinions, and perspective and you will benefit from a better, more-rounded opinion.

A godly marriage has effects that reach even farther than joy and passion. A godly marriage allows children to grow up in a home where they feel loved.

When your spouse’s gender differences irritate you, remember that God created those differences for a purpose and see how you can embrace them.
