THE HIDDEN
TRUTH
MARRIAGE
ABOUT
v. There is nothing that threatens
the security of a wife than the
thought of another woman
competing for the attention and
affection of her husband. Nothing is
more painful. Nothing is more
disrespecting. Nothing is more
insulting. Nothing is more belittling
and degrading.
v. Marriage flourishes when the
couple work together as a team;
when both husband and wife decide
that winning together is more
important than keeping score.
Good marriages don’t just happen.
They are a product of hard work.
v. Your children are watching you
and forming lasting opinions on love,
commitment, and marriage based
on what they see in you. Give them
hope. Make them look forward to
marriage.
v. Husbands: The reason why other
women look attractive is because
someone is taking good care of
them. Grass is always green where it
is watered. Instead of drooling over
the green grass on the other side of
the fence, work on yours and water
it regularly. Any man can admire a
beautiful woman, but it takes a true
gentleman to make a woman
admirable and beautiful.

v. When a husband puts his wife first
above everyone and everything
except God, it gives his wife the sense
of security and honor that every wife
hungers for.
v. A successful marriage doesn’t
require a big house, a perfect spouse,
a million dollars or an expensive car.
You can have all the above and still
have a miserable marriage. A
successful marriage requires honesty,
undying commitment and selfless
love and Jesus at the center of it all.
v. Pray for your spouse every day; in
the morning, in the afternoon and at
evening. Don’t wait until there is a
problem. Don’t wait until there is an
affair. Don’t wait until something
bad happens. Don’t wait until your
spouse is tempted. Shield your
spouse with prayer and cover your
marriage with the fence of prayer.
v. The people you surround yourself
with have a lot of influence on your
marriage. Friends can build or break
your marriage; choose them wisely.
v. One spouse cannot build a
marriage alone when the other
spouse is committed to destroying it.
Marriage works when both husband
and wife work together as a team to
build their marriage.
v. Don’t take your spouse for granted.
Don’t take advantage of your spouse’s
meekness and goodness. Don’t mistake
your spouse’s loyalty for desperation.
Don’t misuse or abuse your spouse’s
trust. You may end up regretting after
losing someone that meant so much to
you.
v. Beware of marital advice from single
people. Regardless of how sincere their
advice may be, most of it is theoretical
and not derived from real life
experiences. If you really need Godly
advice, seek it from God-fearing,
impartial and prayerful mature couples
whose resolve has been tested by time
and shaped by trials.
v. Dear wife, Don’t underestimate the
power of the tongue on your marriage.
The tongue has the power to crush your
marriage or build it up. Don’t let the Devil
use your tongue to kill your spouse’s
image, self-confidence and aspirations.
Let God use your tongue to build up your
marriage and bless and praise your
spouse.
