Choosing The Right Spouse

Picking a spouse is not the same as choosing a peach. Chances are, if you don’t have the correct information to determine what a great spouse looks like, you just may end up with a wrinkled prune. Prunes serve a purpose, but they can send you running to the hills for relief, so you may want to have them in moderation. Many people, especially in large societies, resort to online dating sites. Some folks are happy with it; others are not. Stories are often told of people who post profile pictures of their younger, smaller, and more glamorous selves to attract the partner of their dreams. Back in my great grandfather’s day, there was no online dating. In fact, after his wife died tragically in Inagua, where they lived, he realized he needed another wife to help him raise their two sons. Great granddad opted for a mail-order bride from England; he selected a beautiful creamy-skinned young lady from a catalog and paid the fee. She was sent months later on the next boat smoking to the islands.

Restoring A Stale Marriage

eron and Jenny’s marriage was once the talk of the town, and they looked like the happiest couple in the land as they walked hand in hand in public. A week barely passed when one of them would post a smiling picture of themselves with private messages for public display in their favorite social media hangout. But behind the façade was a loneliness Jenny felt was beginning to consume her. Cameron filled his boredom with the marriage by hanging out with his friends. He knew it was important for Jenny to profile her success in public, so he went along with it, agreeing to wear matching clothes and posing for the smiling selfies.

Honoring Your Spouse

Many women ask the question, “what’s the big deal with honoring your husband?” For most men, honor and respect are huge elements in their relationship with women, and it’s usually the top consideration with sex coming in at a close second place. Sadly, both are the most intentionally withheld elements—even in so-called Christian marriages. Many marital challenges couples experience today are rooted in a lack of honor and respect.

Do You Really Have To Argue?

g opinions. After all, no two people are alike. Now, when they come together, you can imagine that there will be differences of opinion. Those differences often lead to arguments. But they don’t have to. We act the way we do because of the information we’ve received. Our actions generally shift when there is a change of information.

Overcoming Infidelity

Humility is often thought of as a weakness or something with little value, and apologizing to a spouse, is even worse. Many people would agree that the average apology has lost its luster. The “I’m sorry” statement has become more of an “Okay, I hear you, but get over it!” reflex. A general remark to put an end to the conversation. For some, there’s really no sense of remorse, repentance, or even the slightest desire to correct the issue. On the other hand, the pride of the offender serves as a gaseous balloon that internally puffs one up with a false sense of rightness despite the apparent injury the behavior has caused.
