Eight Tips-Saving Your Marriage

"Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of creation, "God made them male and female." 7 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 8 and the two shall become one flesh." So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."

Are you saving your marriage when a misunderstanding arises? You need to identify the source of the misunderstanding and then both of you should create an understanding between each other. Working on your issues is a better choice than making an emotional rush in making decisions that could cause both of you a lot of embarrassment and eventually hurt yourselves as a couple and your family.

As partners who are married to each other, you need to listen attentively to one another. Don't play with each other's emotions but take care for one another. Provide emotional support for your partner and let your partner also provide you with emotional support. Respect one another and establish boundaries.
