Marital relationship

 

 

In a marriage, even the smallest things can lead to big arguments.  As a result, the relationship can become distanced.  While living together physically, the hearts of the couple may have already drifted so far apart that it’s almost beyond measure.  Therefore, couples must learn how to fight well, to ensure that a small spark doesn’t turn into a raging fire.  Especially, we must be cautious not to argue because of third parties such as children or parents.  What matters most is what happens after the fight.  We must continue to learn through failure in reconciliation.  We need to calm our anger and approach the Lord in prayer.  When we pray, the finger we point at our spouse must turn back toward ourselves.  After repenting, confessing, and seeking forgiveness, we should go to our spouse to admit our wrongs and ask for forgiveness.  I believe the responsibility of husbands is especially weighty.
