So if you are desperate to Save Your Christian marriage, you may want to keep a few things in mind.

Evaluate

Just as any married couple would, the Christian couple's first step is an honest assessment of the problems in the marriage.
Have you both grown apart or lack necessary communication skills? Or maybe a more serious issue is deep within?

While a lack of communication can be remedied with only a little work on the part of the husband and wife, more harmful issues such as adultery, deception or abuse will require a great deal more effort.tiffany sets

Are you unified?

Good friends and family members mean well and will offer their advice with good intentions, but their counsel might actually cause the situation to deteriorate between a husband and wife; remember Matthew's advice as to what constitutes a marriage - "So they are no longer two but one flesh." (Matthew 19:6).

While it's good to accept advice from others, be careful the advice that you follow and who you are turning to; you don't want to listen to people that are degrading to your spouse as they will not offer you good, Christian counsel.

Scripture can save your marriage

cheap tiffany sets The Bible is our constant source for advice and counsel. Always bear in mind what is located in Ephesians 5:33. "Each one of you must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband." This simple sentence is at the center of every good marriage. If a man loves his wife enough to put her needs in front of his own, and a wife defers to her husband's authority, many issues in marriage would be solved.

As a rule of thumb, men thrive on respect. As for women? They so much want to feel loved.
Please do not misinterpret this to mean that women mustn't show love and men do not need to be respectful to women respect.

It does provide a good starting point for examining your relationship and could go a long way towards saving your Christian marriage.
