Secrets of a Happy Marriage

Marriage is the most satisfying, most strengthening and most lasting human relationship on this Earth, an illustration of God's relationship with Man! Marriage ought to be more than just sex or friendship and certainly more than a mere business partnership!--It is intended by the Lord to be the most intimate, humbling, loving and self-sacrificial relationship between human beings!
Marriages, it has been said, are made in Heaven, but the maintenance is done down here! More important than how much two people love each other or how happy they are BEFORE their wedding, is how well they talk and share and work out their problems AFTERWARDS!--And how much time and effort and self-sacrifice they're prepared to put into their marriage to make it work!
Here we'd like to share some tried and proven tips, some "Do's" and "Don'ts" of marriage that we pray will help you and your mate avoid some of the common pitfalls, so you can grow together in love!
