Elements of A Good Marriage

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/qlBcU)
Elements of A Good Marriage

1.Communication – Proverbs 13:17, you need to communicate properly

2.Consideration – It is paying attention to what your mate is feeling and not invalidating each other. In Ephesians 4:2 the keywordd is “other”

3.Compromise- love does not demand your own way.
Things where the couple can compromise
- Discipline- what kind of upbringing your spouse have.
- Finances – you need to talk to each others what are the priorities that you have to buy.
- Sex – talk to each other, when, how, where.
- In Laws – you have to consider each other's parents and relatives so that your inlaws won't be your outlaws.

4.Courtship – courtship does not end to  your boyfriend, girlfriend relationship. It should be continuous. Even after having children. Songs of Solomon 8:6 says; “Set me like a seal on your heart, for love is as strong as death.” Matthew 5:32 says; “But I tell you the truth, whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.”

5.Commitment – commitment to take care each other is very important. Faithfulness to your spouse is a must. Malachi 2:6; “'For I hate divorce,' says Yahweh.”,

6.Christ – there could be no better home than having Christ in your home. Ungodly family adds up to the problem of the society. But godly families builds up the society. Proverbs 127:1 says; “Unless builds the house, they labor in vain who build it.”
