He is a "doer" and I'm the "laid back" one and it's easy, too easy, for me to sit back and let him do more than his share at times and then he gets wore out and miffed at me and "I" resent it. But if I really look at it, I know it's me not doing my part. It's hard for me to start, but I know if I don't, he'll resent me and I'll have to work that much harder to let him know I "really" do love and care for him and all he does for me and our family. I'm going to apply these 10 points on a way to a great marriage relationship with my hubby! 16 years and counting :) Thanks for your wonderful insight.

One is that love is a choice. And when we choose to love our spouse with words and deeds our feelings often follow. Love is effectual. That is, it makes its object more lovely. If you make a decision to love her and show that love to her, you may end up finding her more captivating. Louis, although I’m not a counsellor, there are a few things that I’ve learned.

My husband and I have used them all at one time or another and they do make a difference. It helps me to be reminded of these things on a regular basis as it is easy to slip into destructive patterns of behavior. By God's grace and both of us taking the time to step back and be reminded of such things, I am happily married for 24 years. All of these strategies are SO important.

Being in ministry is a big commitment and can mean sacrifices as well. It is such a blessing to have godly role models who live their lives for Him and share their gifts and wisdom in order to minister to others! Thank you! Yes, wisdom is!
