Please contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.
Do you want a good marriage is truly wonderful, but it takes daily work and effort. The big question why marriages struggle? The simple answer is sin! Selfishness, childishness, pride, ego, anger, frustration just to name a few reasons why marriages struggle and sometime couples are uncommitted or do not want to bother to work things out and divorce creeps in the conversation. To be more specific, each partner wants what they want, and communication breaks down and wars begin. It’s not just about that special day when you say “I do” in front of all your friends and family. Look at it as 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, Lovingly, Respectfully, And Listening With Patience And Understanding, Forgiving Each Other, And Being Willing To Grow Together As A Team. Yes, There Will Be Challenges Along The Way ~ Disagreements Over Finances, Etc., But With God Head Of Your Marriage ~ And Effort And Commitment On Your Part ~ All Will Be Well! If You Want A Good Marriage You Need To Put Your Spouses Needs Ahead Of Your Own Needs Regularly.
But bottom line, if you stay committed to each other and keep God at the forefront of everything you do, then I do not doubt that you can build a strong foundation for a lifetime of happiness together. ~ Bill Greguska

Remember ~ Every Marriage Still Has 2 Sinners Involved!
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 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 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.
To Want A Good Marriage Is Not Something That Happens Overnight!
A good marriage takes hard work, dedication, and much patience. Unlike a wedding, which lasts only one day, a good marriage requires daily effort and commitment from both partners. Too often, people spend all their energy planning the perfect wedding without considering what comes after. But the truth is, as wonderful as your big day may be, your life together truly matters in the long run.
A good marriage is about growing together through ups and downs, laughing together through joy and tears, and supporting each other when times get tough – all while keeping God at the center. And yes, there will be days when 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, 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!

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 must love our wives fully to have a happy marriage. To feel secure, my wife needed to feel more loved by me. If I had said and done things she needed and shown my sacrificial love for her by putting her needs before mine, I might still be married. It starts with me, and I did try my best, but things fell apart. A real man knows how to love his wife. Lord, you commanded me to love my wife, provide for her, protect her, and honor her. Before I married, I should have asked you how you defined a good marriage and followed your way.
Lord, I am sorry that when I was married, I sometimes put my own needs in front of my wife’s. 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 understand the importance of loving their wives fully. 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.
