The ABC's of Marriage

I came across this the other day and wanted to share it:


Accept one another as he or she is

Be sensitive to each other's needs

Compliment each other regularly

Don't go to bed angry or with an argument unsettled

Express your love and appreciation for each other daily

Forgive one another totally and unconditionally

Give 100% of yourself to the marriage relationship

Honor one another

Identify areas of conflict and work on root causes

Judge not

Keep courting

Listen to one another

Measure up to your God-assigned role in the marriage

Never drag up past mistakes

Open your heart to one another in honesty and understanding

Pray together

Quit nagging

Renew your commitment to God and to each other

Speak the truth in love

Treat each other as friends and lovers

Undergird one another in child-rearing, work and responsibilities

View your marriage as a covenant before God

Worship together and become involved in a local Bible believing church

X-ray your heart with the prayer, "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

Yield yourselves daily to the will of God

Zero in on common goals and interests and enjoy each other for life

"Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it"  (Psalm 127:1).
