1. Don't prioritise friends over spouse. Let
your friends know that when it comes to
your marriage, your spouse is #1.
2. Cell phones, Facebook and WhatsApp can
bless or break marriages. Used within the
proper parameters of marriage, these can
greatly enhance communication between
husband and wife.
3. A married person must be very cautious
about having a friend of the opposite sex.
Ideally your spouse should be your best
friend. Pouring out your heart and sharing
your emotions and feelings with someone of
the opposite sex other than your spouse is
emotional unfaithfulness;it displaces your
spouse from her rightful position in your
heart.
4. Your spouse doesn't have to compete for
your emotional attention with anyone. Most
sexual encounters outside marriage are
preceded by casual innocent friendships and
inappropriate emotional intimacy.
5. True love says, "You may disappoint me,
frustrate me or annoy me more than I ever
thought possible. But I choose to spend
every disappointing, irritating and annoying
minute of my life with you."
6. Don’t cause your spouse to be a detective
or secret agent. Let your life be an open
book to your spouse. There is no business
your spouse shouldn't know about. Be open
and honest. Secrets destroy marriages.
7. Pride destroys marriages. You are human
and you make mistakes. Swallow your pride,
admit wrong and take responsibility for
your actions.
8. admit wrong and take responsibility for
your actions. Don’t seek to justify your
mistakes or push blame to someone else.
Sometimes you just have to swallow your
pride and say, “I am sorry, I was wrong
please forgive me.
9. If you want your spouse to trust you be
trustworthy. Be where you said you would
be. Do what you said you would do. Keep no
secret. Tell nothing but the truth always.
