A collection of videos, quotes, and helpful biblical teaching on marriage. I only post for wives but I welcome husbands to share on both the husband and wife's role.

This couple is relatively young like my husband and I but they bring a great energy and wise points to this topic.

When Your Husband Does Something You Don't Like

"What if something truly grates on my nerves or annoys me?

I could respectfully say, “I would really love it if you had a chance to do X, instead.” Or “It would mean so much to me if we could do Y.” I can make respectful suggestions or requests. But I want to avoid making demands or being controlling.

Practical examples for dealing with annoying things:
“Honey, I noticed the dishes aren’t always getting completely clean in the dishwasher. I wonder if maybe putting them in this way might help?”
“Hey, if you could please take your shoes off at the front door, I would appreciate it so much. Thanks!”"

I dont watch Videos that are posted here, on the Forum.
No offense.
But i can give you a 100% Key to a more happy marriage, that will work every time, for life.

1.) Find out what your Mate likes, loves, and do that, in the relationship.

2.) Find out what your Mate does not like, does not want, and hates, and NEVER do that.

The opposite of love is not hate, as many might guess, but is really, selfishness.

So in any relationship, putting their interests ahead of yours, is what love is.

In Scripture the husband is counseled quite a bit more often, to love his wife.

The wife is counseled too, but his love for her will keep the headship role, entrusted to the husband, to the proper limit…..

Yes. This is very wise. Thank you.

Love, Honor, And Respect Are Gifts

"The way a husband treats his wife is an indicator of the depth of his love, respect and reverence for God. A husband’s love for his wife is gift to her that springs from his love, obedience and reverence for Christ. A wife cannot force her husband to obey God and to love her as Christ loves her. It is a gift he gives willingly because He loves and honors Jesus, so he loves and honors his wife.

A wife’s respect and biblical submission towards her husband are gifts that a wife gives freely to her husband out of her love, obedience and reverence for Christ, as well. There is no qualifier that a husband must do something first before the wife obeys God or that the husband must earn his wife’s respect. A husband cannot force his wife to respect him and submit to him. "
