5 Ways to Make Your Marriage Work
- In good marriages you communicate freely, forgive quickly, and support each other intentionally.
- Start out by seeking an older couple that will formally or informally mentor you.
- Attend a marriage conference yearly to receive new skills, insights, and motivation.
- Study the positive marriages in Scripture such as Isaac and Rebekah and Joseph and Mary.
- If you need more help seek out pastoral or professional Christian Biblical counseling for your marriage.
You cannot change your ancestors, but you can change your descendants.
“Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise.” Proverbs 19:20
Remember, marriage is for better for worse for keeps.
