For your marriage to be effective, sweet, comfortable, and glorify God, you need to create quality time where you will be together and talk despite your busy schedules and obligations. Dialogue is crucial in marriage. Communication is very vital for the proper functioning of a marriage.

If communication is broken, there will always be disputes, and nothing will work in that household. Through the channel of communication, you bond and strengthen your hearts; thus, there will be more openness in the relationship, and understanding will deepen because everyone’s thoughts are known. Commune, have moments of fasting and prayer together; entrust your couple, your marriage, your children, your projects, your plans, and needs to GOD.

Many partners live together but are not together. Each morning, each goes about their own business, and the house is like a hotel room. Your case should not be like this. I heard a true story about a man and his wife who had been living together for 25 years without speaking to each other, yet they lived together, managing one another (managers instead of directors). The husband had been dead for four days in the same house without his wife noticing. It was the neighbors who came to ask about the man because they hadn’t seen him for four days. They then discovered that the man had died. Satan is wicked!

Please, spend time together, study the Bible, and share your new discoveries about the word of GOD. Play with your children, watch television, visit friends, rejoice, cry if necessary, and go to church together. In the Bible, Lot left his wife behind, which gave her the opportunity to look back, and she was turned into a pillar of salt.

Spend time together and rejoice with each other…
