- As a family make it your habit to pray together, a family that prays together stays together
- Meet your spouse’s needs as you want your spouse to meet your needs
- Learn to spend quality time together
- Be courteous, gentle, caring, affectionate and appreciative to one another
- As much as possible avoid referring to past wrongs of each other
- Avoid destructive criticism and comparison
- Respect each others views and interests
- Do not allow outsiders to crash your heads together - protect each other
- Do not disgrace your spouse to friends, family or neighbours
- Resolve to forgive your partner anytime a conflict erupts
- Never use the silent treatment, but communicate
- Never hit (hands are intended to protect, cares reassure etc)
- Never call names - foolish woman or worthless man or lazy or liar ( names that hurt or attack who we are). These words are hard to forget, you can't take them back. They can kill relationship.
Realize that the quality of your relationship with your spouse affects the quality of your relationship with God. It is therefore expedient that you do whatever you can, as obedient to God to let go whatever resentment that can block the flow of peace between you and your spouse. If you do this, your confidence level will be raised to counsel younger couples
