ATTITUDES AND THOUGHTS AFTER MARRIAGE

Courtship and Marriage are like Jupiter and Mars, they are worlds apart.

During courtship you have an idea of what you want your partner to be, you plan what you will be, you share things about what will make you happy together.

In Marriage, what you want is not always what you get, but you can work hard to get to that ideal place of marriage bliss.

Both of you should ask, "what am I willing to give up, to sacrifice, to contribute, to make this marriage as good as the Lord wants it to be?"

Once you or your spouse says, "what am I getting out of this relationship?  It seems I am not happy, I am not getting what is right for me" then you are working for the demise of your marriage.

You should have one income, what is his is hers and what is hers is his.

You should follow the divine order, Father over Christ over Husband over wife.

The wife should avoid saying these during arguments, "this is what my family wants" "all my friends told me, that you are treating me wrong"

The wife should defend the reputation of her husband to death, and the husband should defend the reputation of her wife to death.

Both the husband and the wife should let the Lord rule by using the word of God to convince one another about the correctness of their proposal or decision.  They should do it, knowing that both of them will give an account to God how they used the word of God in their relationship.

Both the husband and the wife should forbear, forgive, have long suffering, be kindly affectioned one to another, comfort one another, and love one another.  Whatever is good for the church as a whole should be good for the little family in microcosm.
