Happy marriages are simple, honest, and straightforward - marriages that impress God, not people. "...I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances." (Philippians 4:11) - Isaac Kubvoruno
Keep Your Marriage Simple and Sweet: Learn to be content with what you have. Many couples complicate their marriages by trying to compete or keep up with friends and neighbors. They buy things they do not need with the money they do not have to impress people they do not know.
Live within your means. Budget together with your spouse. Plan, prioritize, and have the maturity, discipline, and temperance to follow your plans, regardless of what your neighbors and friends are doing. It takes lots of lies, stress, and debt to support a fake lifestyle.
