BE THERE FOR EACH OTHER
One of the reasons people marry is to fight loneliness. Once they marry they misunderstand each other and don’t appreciate each other. That kind of marriage does not work. Be there for each other.

Marriage is important because throughout the Bible the marriage relationship between a husband and a wife is a metaphor for the relationship between Christ and the Church throughout the Bible.

In Ephesians 5:28-32, marriage is discussed this way:
"So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. (NKJV)

1. Make the man feel that he is the man.
When woman appreciates the man in her life, the man can go to any distance to be there for his wife. Over the 38 years I have been married, I am grateful to God that He gave me a wife that has not frustrated me as a man in the home.

2. Support each other’s goals. Everyone has goals and dreams
they'd like to work toward fulfilling.
When you don’t support each other’s goals. There will be frustrations. When frustrations come in, there will imminently be a conflict.

My advice to couples is to set their goals together and ensure you support each other to achieve your goals.
Both of you should be interested in what each of you wants and dreams of accomplishing the same.

3. Encourage and support each other.
Each wants to know that his/her spouse is there for him/her and he/she can count on the spouse.
There shouldn’t be any competition. All that you are doing is for each other.

4. Love and give in to each other.
By nature, women are givers. They tend to give more than they receive and then get sad when they are not treated the same way.
You need to understand each other in this area without hurting each other.

5. Appreciate the roles each plays.
This is always health in reciprocating the love given. When the wife loves the husband much, it means she is going an extra mile and the husband need to appreciate this and reciprocate her love.

6. Communicate with each other.
Men and women think differently, act differently and react differently.
The way to be there for each other is to communicate and do it effectively. Don’t assume that the other person will understand. You have to express it plainly.

7. Be yourself. Each other must have seen
something in yourselves that you liked about it in the first place.
Be yourself, and be happy with who you are. People want to be around positive and happy people - not those who complain about how bad their lives are.

When people marry, they both promise to care for each other, and expect that care from each other. You are in love, and you are highly motivated to make each other happy. But normally it doesn’t occur to the couple at the time that if you do not care for each other the right way, you might lose your love for each other.

And along with your loss of love, you might lose your willingness to care for each other.
