I started this topic yesterday and I will be complete it this morning.
3. Avoid Being against your spouse
Immediately you are married, you become a team member with your spouse. You are forever on the same team except if your spouse chooses to be on the side of unrighteousness and pitches his/her tent against God.
Apart from that, you should always seek to support, encourage, fight for, defend and promote your spouse. You are a covenant partner in the sight of God.
No other person is your priority apart from your spouse. You support yourselves with your finances, prayers, encouragement, and all that you have.
4. Avoid being disloyal to your spouse.
It is in a marriage covenant that loyalty can be best expressed. God expects a high level of commitment from both spouses. It is not supposed to be a one-way thing but both parties fully commuted to one another. You are to be naked, open, and transparent. Your loyalty should be expressed by being truthful to each other.
Being very honest about your weaknesses, struggles, challenges, and using your strength for the advantage of the marriage.
No lies whatsoever. No grey lies or any such thing. Total and complete transparency.
5. Avoid unnecessary quarrels, unforgiveness, and bitterness.
Do everything possible to keep the bond of unity between yourselves. The recommendation of the holy scriptures is that you can get angry but do not sin. Do not let the sun set on your anger. We all need to ask God for forgiveness right now!
We have all flaunted this injunction of the Lord on several occasions.
Yet it is for our advancement. Do everything possible to do and not do what your spouse does not like. Anything that will upset the peace of your marriage should be avoided at all costs.
Don't be bent on insisting on your own. Let go and allow God to avenge you and the situation.
Stop insisting you are right to the point of strife. Strife kills and suffocates the life in a marriage. Pray about any knotty situation you may be facing and the Lord will give you victory in Jesus name.
Do everything possible to end quarrels. A relationship with the person of Jesus will help you attach this. Have a daily walk with God, talk to him daily don't just make unending requests to him on prayers. Seek His face, worship Him, and before long His ways of doing things will be your delight. He would have influenced your decision and your heart.
I pray God strengthens us to do His will in Jesus name amen.
God bless your marriage
