Every person dreams of that very special day when they will walk down the aisle with their future husband or wife.
My father today was actually talking to me about marriage and there is something he said that caught my attention that I wanted to share with you.
He said the following, "Claudia, the day you get married their are three things that you need so your marriage will be successful".
The first and most important thing is communication. If there is no communication between the couple, the marriage will die with certainty. Because when there is communication, a constant contact between the couple. There is no room in their minds for the devil to place doubts, jealousy, or the need to find someone else.
Two, never make decisions without consulting your partner. He explained that when a person gets married they no longer do what they want, or when they want. Every decision the person makes needs to be consulted with their partner. This keeps the couple on the same page and helps them make decisions as one, and not as individuals. Many times couples struggle because they make big decisions without consulting it with their partners. So what ends up happening is that that the man, or the woman feels that her opinion does not matter, or that he/she is not even there.
Finally, respect. There are men and women who have the habit of putting down their partner without even realizing it. These words could be "useless" "pathetic" "you can't do anything right" etc. My father said, when there is no respect from the partner their cannot be a marriage. This respect includes:
submission, faithfulness, politeness, etc.
Now that you know these three key points to a successful marriage, I have one question.
How has your marriage with God been?
