The resurrection of Jesus Christ makes it clear that it is wise for us to understand that human death is a temporary, transitional situation, and not a permanent state of being. We are assured of this because Jesus Christ Himself rose physically from the dead. And we will as well.

This is why a man works; we are all going to leave the things of this life behind, but we want our sons to be good husbands and our daughters and the grandchildren they bring us to have the proper care of a good husband.

A man cannot be responsible, in most cases, for his wife’s happiness. He can provide her with the creature comforts that are available to him, but her happiness is directly proportional to whether or not she decides to be grateful that that which he does. It is impossible for a man to do whatever a woman wants, because her desires change with her circumstances.

God tells husbands and wives to be “one flesh” with one another is to preclude the warfare that goes on between women if a man has more than one. It is a good idea for a woman to not expose herself sexually to a man that has not made the formal commitment of marriage to her.

Love is a complex concept that can be explained simply with respect to marriage. To show love to your spouse, wake up every morning thinking of what you can do to make your spouse glad that they are married to you. And then do it.

Love does not exist in a vacuum; infatuation may, but not love. Love is developed in the crucible of adversity. Love develops by a shared experience of overcoming the circumstances of life.

When the spouses become parents, the spouse whose personality matches that of the child may decide to make his or her primary relationship with their child rather than with their spouse, which diminishes the development of the marital bond. This is not a good thing.

If we find ourselves in a difficult situation that feel that we cannot share with our spouses, our reluctance to share brings dissension to the marriage, because intimacy, be it emotional, psychological and physical, should be the exclusive venue of husband and wife.
