People assume that if there is a problem in their marriage it is the other person. And it might be. However, we cannot control anyone else. We are only in charge of our actions. So we should start looking at ourselves first. Here is a list of positive actions you can take.

1. Seek God first (Mathew 6:33). Everything else will fall into place
2. Fear the Lord (Proverbs 1:7 and Proverbs 31:30)
3. Find Joy in the Lord (Core of devotion) – Devotion to marriage, community and family (Proverbs 31:11; 20; 25; 27)
4. Pray, pray and pray

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thess 5:16-18

Marriage is a covenant agreement and in a covenant, a life must be laid down.
