Marriage Essentials

"Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate, but through being the right mate"

Seven Official Rules for a Good, Clean Fight

1. Before we begin, we must both agree that the time is right. (Colossians 3:17)

2. We will remember that our only battle aim is a deeper understanding of each other. (Proverbs 3:5)

3. We will check our weapons often to be sure they're not deadly. (2 Corinthians 10:4)

4. We will lower our voices instead of raising them. (John 18:37)

5. We will never quarrel in public or reveal private matters (Proverbs 3:25)

6. We will discuss an armistice whenever either us calls "halt" (Psalm 38:17)

7. When we have come to terms, we will put it away until we both agree it needs more discussing (Matthew 18:18-20)

The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes.
