If you are rich in marriage, you something that money can not buy. You have a soulmate, a life partner and someone you can trust.
You have someone who will open their arms, life and body to you. You have a confidant, a best friend and a lover. You are blessed.
The best marriages are built on total openness, honesty and trust.
For example: That means if at any moment your spouse wanted to use your phones, you wouldn't hesitate to hand it to them without worry of what they might find.
Do you have this kind of trust in your marriage?
DON'T spend time with people who disrespect or talk bad about your spouse and/or marriage. Instead, associate with people who will encourage and build you up.
Married People: Limit your time with women who complain about their husbands and men who can't stand their wives.
Believe it or not, the company you keep has a big impact and influence on you.

"I promise to make a conscious decision to continue to love you even when it's hard, because I'm aware no one is perfect ... but you are worth it."
A WISE WIFE focuses on what her husband does right and lets him know often. A FOOLISH wife only focuses on her husband’s faults and annoyances.
A WISE HUSBAND does sweet things for his wife for no reason at all. A FOOLISH husband buys flowers only when he is in the dog house.
