How do you go about helping your fiancé discover their love language? Begin by encouraging them to read Dr. Gary Chapman's book, The Five Love Languages.

It's difficult to stay pure before marriage. When you deeply love each other emotionally, the natural progression becomes physical. The physical aspect of love is not the foundation of a good marriage. Covenant with each other that you will not become physically involved until after marriage.

From a Biblical perspective, the purpose of life is not to accomplish our own objectives but to glorify God. Our busy lives tend to direct our thoughts toward ourselves and our family. But as you serve your family, you are serving God.

You must admit that when your children are born, it greatly affects your marital relationship. Raising your children can become all consuming. Your children and your marriage should both be prioritized, but your marriage should be your main priority.

It's easy to love someone who's lovely, but not so easy when they are unlovely. Jesus said we are to love and bless our enemies.

It's normal for couples to have issues that come up when they get married. Finances is often one of them. Talk about it! Consider holding a weekly conference together in which each of you brings up one item for discussion. That will present the opportunity to bring up issues that concern you the most.

As your spouse is preparing for deployment, ask them if there are some specific things you can do to make them feel loved.

If you're a single and feel like you're excluded from functions at your church, take the initiative to develop friendships with married church members. Attend as many functions as you can that don't exclude singles.

It's a given that you'll become angry with your spouse at some point in your marriage. Why, because they might not have lived up to your expectations. The first step in processing anger is to admit that you are angry.

What Does Anger Mean? It means that you feel someone has wronged you. Instead of reacting, take a step back and ask God to help you. More than likely, this will help you avoid exploding.
