10. Don't let the sun go down on your wrath. If you have any
conflicts, resolve them as quickly as you can (the day they happen, before the
sun goes down).
9. The closer a husband and wife get to God, the closer they get to each other. The farther away they get from God, the farther they get from each other.
8. Establish a weekly date night.
7. The husband should cherish his wife and show her he loves her by being respectful of her.
6. The husband should show his wife he loves her by opening doors, taking her on dates, telling her he loves her and leaving her love notes.
5. Ask your wife what home repair projects would be important to her, and be sure to get them done!
4. Learn to listen to the heart of your wife, and allow her to communicate her concerns and dreams with you on a daily basis.
3. Praise your wife and children ten times more than you correct them.
2. Respect each other.
1. Be fruitful and multiply.

My husband wants to know what the wife must do. What is my part. Marriage tips for me...not only for him...
ReplyDeleteI would like to see the mother & father, enjoy the children they have and let the older kids have a life of their own now.
ReplyDeleteThese are great tips in making a marriage work. A lot couples will surely find these suggestions helpful in building a very strong relationship. Thanks for sharing this article.
ReplyDeleteThe older kids have had an amazing upbringing learning not to be self-centered. People who put other's first are doing God's will. These young adults are going to be terrific parents and great examples of doing God's well for His Glory. God Bless them all.
ReplyDeleteSir Jim Bob and Sister Michelle, Your family is wonderful! I started a buddy group when they were young. Thank you for being such great examples of love, grace and patience!!! But I only had 7! My oldest daughter is now twenty and I would love to get a copy of your questionnaire you have for the future in-laws!!! :)
