How to Make Your Marriage the Fulfillment of God`s Dream and Live in the Seventh Heaven!

Matrimony is the union of man and woman as husband and wife. This lifestyle that goes beyond the marriage ceremony is one that is worth doing well. This union ordained by God is a beautiful one that requires high level of guts and maturity. It is also a replica of man`s relationship with God, the Creator. To make this union as beautiful as God dreamt it to be, you must take the following steps:

Trust: Trust your spouse enough to let his/her decisions count. Don't compare your spouse with your siblings, your parents or even your colleagues. Don't believe just any story/rumour/complain you heard about him/ her. Stand with him/ her against exte
al forces and influences, don't team up with those who see him/her as "no- good" no matter who they are. Remember she made a great sacrifice leaving her folks to pitch her tent with you, she even gave up her name and identity for yours; and he also made a great sacrifice to give you himself in totality. Both of you should look up to each other with none looking down on the other.

Be Faithful and true to your union. For the man: Don't go after everything on skirts because it "seems like a man's world". Don't defile your marriage bed, don't go rekindling your "old flames" since the embers have gone off, let them remain off. Make your woman feel and know she is important to you, let her be the first to hear of your promotion, success, achievements et al. Gently, kindly and lovingly approach her on any changes you want her to make either in her looks or other issues. For the woman: to whom much is given much is expected, don't keep reminding him of your past partners; marriage is honourable and good when the bed is undefiled. Stick to the vows you made to each other the day you walked down the aisle and said " I do".

Be Available: always be there for each other and when you "unavoidably" won't be around, apologise and make it up the next time you have the opportunity. Importantly, guys, remember Important Dates -her birthday, your anniversary, the "kiss-time" (if you have any) and so. Don't just be there physically with that far away look indicating you are not there emotionally. When you don't respond to questions with affection, it means you are not paying attention. Availability is all about attention and affection, combine these two ingredients and you are the best spouse - everyone's dream partner!
