Love in a marriage is the attitude that says "I'm committed to enhancing your life for the rest of our lives". That means loving your spouse, even if there are things you can never change about them. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When a problem arises in your marriage, it often leads to you and your spouse blaming each other. No doubt, both of you bear some of the fault. What you must do is confess the areas in which you are at fault - regardless of whether or not your spouse takes the same step. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Personal Confession

It's important to help your spouse reach their potential? The deepest satisfaction that a spouse can have is to see their mate reach their fullest potential in life - relationally and spiritually. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reaching Their Potential

Silence between separated spouses is quite common. It takes both spouses to communicate, but it only takes one to initiate the process. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Penetrating the Silence

Should a married couple choose to attend separate churches? It's not necessarily wrong, but it's not advisable. If neither of them want to attend the other's church, it might helpful for them to agree to visit other churches that neither one of them are currently attending. They might end up finding a church that both can agree on. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Separate Churches

When one spouse is a social person while the other is an introvert, it can often lead to doing things separately. This drifting apart is not healthy. Both spouses need to take steps in each other's direction - making these differences more manageable. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
