Marriage

I am by no means a pro when it comes to marriage. However, I have been married for fourteen years and never once thought about leaving my wife. I believe you have to completely give yourself to your husband or wife to be happy. Sounds pretty easy at this point. What I mean by the last statement you must love them as much as you love yourself. You must stop and think about your actions and words. Ask yourself is this how I would like to be treated or the words I would like to hear at this time? Now it's getting a little tougher. You must make sacrifices such as giving up things you want so that you can show your husband or wife that you really do care about what they want. Never ask them do something you wouldn't do yourself. A happy marriage can not be about one or the other. It has to be about two people whiling to give their all to each other. If any of this sounds familiar , maybe you read something close to this in your bible. God said women submit to your husbands and husbands love your wife as CHRIST loved the church. Husbands love your wife as you love yourself, because their is no man who truly hates himself. I would say that statement is also true for women. We as men can not be to proud to help around the house. We must always make time for each other. A nice dinner ,a trip to the park or something for the two of you together. When we do help around the house we should not be looking for something in return or bring attention to what we have done. Yet again something I read in the Bible. When we do good works we should not make it about us. We should do good works because my bible says that pleases GOD and we should do good works out of love for the person we are helping. If you completely give your life to God the rest will fall in place. We will face trials along the way but with God on your side you will win. God will never fail or forsake you( something I read in the bible). Has there ever been a argument that has truly helped anything in marriage. It is a lot easier to just agree to disagree and move on. A gentle word turns away wrath, but harsh words can stir up anger( something from the bible). Who ever walks with the wise will become wise. Those who walk with God are walking the right path. I will be praying for all of you who are going through tough times right now. If both parties involved will set and read their bible they will find a answer. It may not be the one you are looking for but it will be the right one. I hope this can help somebody. I know through God all things are possible
