Marriage is like a cube of sugar, it will always attracts ants except you keep it in a tight container. Just as ants are the enemies of sugar, marriage also has enemies which can destroy it if not checked on time.
SELFISHNESS
A Great marriage is not a solo or self-centered game. It is a selfless venture. Selfish attitudes which propel the use of ‘I’, ‘Mine’ ‘me’ and ‘myself’ can devour any marriage without stress. Ant habit that makes you think about your personal needs without considering your spouse first will put your marriage in a deplorable state. Stop being selfish and you will be on your way to building a great marriage.
“Be kindly affection one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another” Romans 12:10
INFIDELITY
In this present time, nothing separate couples like infidelity. Majority of couples are battling with extramarital affairs because it’s just a click away in this era of YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat, WhatsApp and other social media platforms.
Don’t be carried away with the stature, hair or facial look of any other lady or man. Infidelity will always terminate in sorrow as it exposes you to HIV/AIDS, STI and wastes your finances. Get satisfied with your spouse.
“But whoso committed adultery with a woman lacked understanding: he that doeth it destroyed his own soul. A wound and dishonor shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away” Proverb 6:32-33
CRITICISM
Critics don’t get a companion in their spouse but a competitor. When you’re fond of criticizing your spouse for everything, blaming, condemning and you are too difficult to please, your marriage will get weaker and weaker until it hits the rock if you fail to address it now.
“Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man” Colossians 4:6
