On Married Life

Let Love Rule.
My wife and I are doing great since we got married, and I already can give advisement on what I have learned. One of the keys to a good marriage is to maintain a friendship with your spouse. Furthermore, Be open with your spouse about the goings on in your life, keeping secrets never pays.
Too many people think that once you’re done w/the courtship, the newness tends to wane, I however say there is no reason the new flame needs to dim at all. Men, Love your wife when she wakes up with her hair unkempt just as much as you did when you first began your lives together and she had it all done up beautifully for you.
Realize that your wife is your closest earthly confidant, and that marriage is a covenant, let Love flow in your home so freely that it permeates everything, when you have disagreements with your wife, don’t be angry or quick tempered, and don’t be selfish. Love is a blessing, it is a Divine thing. Furthermore, scripture of the Christian Bible states that God is Love, as long as Love rules in your household, you will flourish.
These are just a few lessons I have learned, and notes worth sharing.

Well, I see congratulations are in order! I feel rather left out of some big news here Junior. You’ve been asking for my advice on everything except marriage for a couple of years now, but you don’t need any advice on romantic ways to propose, or on how to help your fiancee to plan her wedding by staying out of the way unless she needs a hug – there are signs to go by to figure out when to stay out from underfoot and when to offer a hug. Don’t miss those signs!
I am so happy for the two of you. And you are so right about married life – don’t keep secrets and don’t let the passion die. It is not easy to keep all of those vows, especially in our “me first, I’ve got to pursue my own happiness” culture. You may have heard the statistic that Christian couples have the same divorce rate as anyone else,but that is only true if you take all of the nominal Christians into account. Of couples who pray together, attend church together regularly, and who keep Christ the center of their lives, the statistic for divorce plummets to about 1%.
I wish you God’s richest blessings as you start your new life together!

Well, that was some great advice there!
Communication is a critical aspect in every relationship. It is important that married couples should have a 2-way understanding.
And you’re right. The newness should not wane after the courtship is over. Let love not just be a feeling but rather a decision to stay forever with the one we married, like in the marriage vow.
