Save Your Marriage From Failure



Today, “till death do we part” does not mean what it says to some people.  Today, divorce has taken over our society. We now see prenuptial agreements and couples maintaining separate bank accounts (some spouses will even withhold the other from having access to the account).  Marriage is about sharing your lives and committing yourselves to being together. When you allow separation of your lives emotionally and financially the enemy can tear down the marriage. God designed marriage as the joining together of one flesh, by sharing equally in all aspects of our lives and committing ourselves to being together. The idea of separation in these financial and personal aspects is a mentality of preparing for divorce, before it even happens. Being married requires self-sacrifice and laying down your personal desires. You are supposed to love your spouse, just as The Lord loves us. 
What are some ways that you can save your marriage from failure? 

1. Pray with your spouse.

Praying with and for each other, will strengthen the bound that you have for each other. My Husband and I make it a point to pray together every opportunity that we can pray, because we both love the chance to speak to The Lord. The bible says, "Again I say unto to you, that if two of you  shall agree shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it will be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. " Matthew 18:19 King James Version.

2. Spend time alone.

It can be once a week, once a month, or more, as long as you make a commitment to getting out together on a consistent basis. Mark it down, put it in your phone as a reminder, but make sure to keep the date. When your married it can become easy to neglect your marriage, that is why you need time alone together. You do not have to spend a ton of money, just to have alone time; you can go for a walk, get an ice cream, or even a movie. The key is to make sure that it is the two of you spending quality time alone, so that you can connect with one another. 

3. Discuss the goals of your marriage.

Talk with your spouse and evaluate what their expectations are for your marriage. Discuss things that you appreciate about each other and steps that both of you can take to help your marriage. 
I pray that God will  bless and keep your marriage strong. That God will strengthen and continue to protect your marriage from failure.

Showing your Husband Respect

If you ask your Husband what he wants the most from you, chances are he will say, "Respect"! In Ephesians 5:33 apostle Paul encourages Husbands to love their wives and wives to respect their husbands. Paul knew that husbands need to be reminded that their wife should love and respect them. Could we as wives slip out of respecting our husbands and begin nagging and focusing on their weaknesses? Respect is what a husband wants; it's what a marriage needs. Wives who show their husband respect is allowing her Husband to become all that he ought to be. To understand how a wife is supposed to treat her husband, read Ephesians 5:33. "Let the wife see that she respects and reverences her husband [that she notices him, regards him, honors him, prefers him, venerates and esteems him; and that she defers him, praises him. loves and admires him exceedingly]." Look again at the verse, consider each phrase and relate it to how you treat your Husban

Fulfilling Sexual Intimacy in Marriage

To have a great marriage, you must remain sexually active with your Spouse! Do you know that many marital problems can be related to not having your needs met sexually? Most couples face the frustration of having one spouse with a consistently stronger sex drive than the other . The Bible tells us how we can manage our sex lives in 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. The verse states that couples should make love whenever the other Spouse wants to have sex. That means even if you are not in the mood at the

Loving your Spouse Unconditionally

Loving your Spouse Unconditionally Now that you have been married for a few months, have you been asking yourself what happened to my fairy tale?  Almost every woman wants the fairy tale to continue after the wedding, but reality sets in after financial problems arrive, small disagreements or everyday life happens.  When these things happen we begin noticing our Spouse's weaknesses. You start asking yourself, "Where is the person that I married and what happened to my perfect marriage"? After months of being married to your Spouse reality sets in, and you begin to notice some of your Spouse's weaknesses. It's easy to begin doubting your marriage and to start thinking that you could have made a mistake.  These kind of thoughts can be dangerous, because once you allow negative thinking to enter your mind, you are opening the door to temptation.  The enemy loves it when you start doubting your marriage, so do not allow it to happen. When you f
