Marriage is a commitment! Read Ephesians 5:21-29
6. Do not interfere with your mate's discipline of the children. This is very important, that you do this because the children NEED to see a united front between you and your spouse.
7. Remember, marriage is not an agreement; it is a commitment. When you said I do it wasn't if you do I will. It is I will even if you won't. When You said your vows, hold to what you committed to.
8. Never spurn your mate's affection or desire for affection. I Corinthians 7:1-5 The Bible is very clear here in this regard. If you don't allow the intimate part of your marriage it can destroy your marriage.
9. Let your children go, according to the plan.
Age % Dependence % Independence
Birth 100% 0%
3 90% 10%
7 75% 25%
10 50% 50%
13 25% 75%
16 10% 90%
18 0% 100%
If you notice the %'s change as they get older! Many parents resent the change.
As a mom of a 19 yr old I will admit that letting go is hard!!! My children are between the ages 10 and 18 for my boys and it is not easy but you will realize if you let go a little more at each stage it will be better for you and the child.
10. Do not get to close to another couple. You can destroy not only your marriage but the other couples marriage if you spend to much time together!
Remember that every time you do right by your spouse you are doing right by Jesus!
Keep your marriage, exciting and fun!!!
