A good marriage is truly a wonderful thing, but it takes work and effort every single day. It’s not just about that one special day when you say “I do” in front of all your friends and family. It’s about committing to each other for the long haul, through thick and thin, for better or worse. It’s about putting God at the center of your relationship and working together to overcome any obstacles that come your way.

A good marriage means communicating openly with each other, listening with patience and understanding, forgiving each other when you make mistakes, and always being willing to grow together as a team. Yes, there will be challenges along the way – disagreements over finances or parenting styles or how to spend your free time – but if you stay committed to each other and keep God at the forefront of everything you do, then I have no doubt that you can build a strong foundation for a lifetime of happiness together. ~ Bill Greguska

Want To Be In A Good Marriage? NeedEncouragement.com

Strive for you and your spouse to be a good team, unable to be divided by problems because of children, money, health, or anything else!

What makes for a better relationship with your spouse? Remember these essential keys to a healthy marriage: faith, hope, love, trust, and honesty. Having faith and love for God will direct the course of your relationship and put your spouse’s needs ahead of your own. Bottom line, what makes for a healthy relationship? Your love for your spouse should be your greatest love only behind that of Jesus Christ. Other important factors, such as I would refer to them as the 3-C’s -Commitment, Communication, Cooperation added to a solid base foundation of Faith / Love / and Honoring God, you will be on the right road!

There are a few ways to learn the keys to a good marriage, and whatever it takes for you to discover them is what matters. On the one hand, you may want to talk to couples that have been married for 50 years to realize their secrets to success. On the other hand, you can learn from people who did not have successful marriages and learn from them. There is a benefit from learning from what did work, and there is also a benefit from other people’s mistakes. You can also read books to learn more keys to healthy relationships. But whatever you do, be proactive and put effort into your marriage, or your marriage will not be what you hoped for or would like it to be. ~ Bill Greguska

 


 

 

What Is The Secret To A Happy Marriage?


Ephesians 5:24-25  Now, as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. HUSBANDS, love your wives, just as CHRIST loved the church and gave himself up for HER.  


 

 

A Good Marriage Is Not Something That Just Happens Overnight!

A good marriage takes hard work, dedication, and a whole lot of patience to make it last. Unlike a wedding which lasts only one day, a good marriage requires daily effort and commitment from both partners. Too often we see people putting all their energy into planning the perfect wedding without giving much thought to what comes after. But the truth is, as wonderful as your big day may be, it’s your life together that truly matters in the long run.

A good marriage is about growing together through ups and downs, laughing together through joy and tears, supporting each other when times get tough – all while keeping God at the center of it all. And yes, there will be days where things don’t go according to plan or feelings are hurt – but if you’re both committed to working through those challenges with love and grace then you can overcome anything thrown your way. So remember that a good marriage isn’t always easy – but it’s worth every ounce of effort put in!

Love Your Wife = Love Your Life

 (This is a section from The Book I wrote)

Lord, as man who has gone through divorce, I know I ought to have loved my wife more sacrificially than I did. I know I did my best considering my circumstances, but my best was not good enough. Many men do not need to reinvent the wheel, but rather learn from others like me who found out the hard way.

Lord, we husbands need to love our wives fully if we want to have a happy marriage. To feel secure, my wife needed to feel more loved by me. If I would have said and done things that she needed, and shown my sacrificial love for her by putting her needs before of my own, I might still be married. It starts with me, and I did try my best, but things fell apart. A real man is one who knows how to love his wife. Lord, you commanded me to love my wife and provide for her, protect her, and honor her. Before I got married, I should have asked you how you define a good marriage, and followed your way.

Lord, I am sorry that when I was married, I put my own needs in front of my wife’s needs at times. Help us be wise men and take the lead when it comes to loving our wives. You gave your life to the church (the bride), and we need to do the same for our wives. Lord, please help all married men to understand the important need to fully love their wives. Please have your Holy Spirit guide us.

My advice to a new husband is nothing more than ‘”husbands, love your wives.” And “love your wife as Christ has loved the church.” Never forget that you are Christ’s representative in serving your wife. ~ J. I. Packer, Canadian evangelical and theologian.
