your job, family/parents,

and other obligations.
You must learn to
balance your daily
schedule.
and gave Himself for
her. So husbands
ought to love their own
wives as their own
bodies; he who loves
his wife loves himself.
(Eph. 5:25; 28). He is
to love her no matter
what. He is willing to
provide, protect, serve
her and if necessary,
risk his life to save her.
Likewise, the wife is to
respect him and esteem
him wholeheartedly.
Nevertheless, let each
of you in particular so
love his own wife as
himself, and let the wife
see that she respects
her husband. (Eph.
4:33). This is the means
through which she gives
honor to him.
In today’s society
marriage has
undergone a major
reconstruction which
excludes the principles
of God. Within far too
many marriages, Love,
honor and obey has
been replaced with I~
Me ~ My syndrome.
With such an attitude,
this shift in marriage
has left far too many
couples distant,
selfi sh, unthankful and
thoughtless. But there
is hope!
Marriage is not about
a man controlling his
wife nor, a woman
reconstructing her
husband. Men and
women are different

You think differently.
Each of you have your
own unique fuction.
You have to learn
how to live together
harmoniously and build
a godly marriage that’s
built on a foundation
based upon love,
trust, mutual respect,
living peacefully and
most importantly the
principles of marriage
written in the infallible
word of God. To
succeed at this, it is
the responsibility of
both husband and wife
to spend quality time
together. You must
apply time management
Financial security
and participating in
community activities
are good for a marriage.
However; when your
job or other obligations
become more important
than spending
vaulable time with your
spouse, it’s time for an
adjustment. You must
never prefer anything or
anyone over being with
your husband or wife.
Such shelfi sh actions
will create feeling of
loneliness, rejection,
emptiness and neglect
and may aide in your
mate fi nding other
means of fulfi llment;
such as infi delity.
As it pertains to your
job, it’s of urgency that
you and your spouse
discuss your work hours
including overtime,
income and expenses
and design a mutually
agreed upon schedule
that allows you to have
more alone time. If need
be, you can speak to a
wise Christian Leader,
such as your Pastor
(s) to help resolve this
problem.
This requires the
ability to communicate
