MARRIAGE PROBLEMS

 

The Bible says that it is a man's responsibility to love (Ephesians 5:25) and it is a woman's responsibility to submit (Ephesians 5:22). If the husband will commit to love then it makes it much easier for the wife to submit. If the wife will submit, the husband will have less trouble loving her. The beautiful thing about this is that God does not say, "a man should love his wife if she will submit." Or, 'a woman should submit to her husband if he loves her," Eash spouse's responsibility is independent of what the other one does.

 

When a couple looks at marriage as a 50/50 agreement then they will always play off of how the other treats them, However, when they see the marriage as their sole responsibility, then they will have a much stronger and happier marriage.
