Time For A Successful Marriage

With the time change, it is time to spring forward in your marriage and strive to make it successful. A successful marriage is one that is based upon the principles of the Bible, Christ centered and happy. This is the kind of marriage that will last until one of the spouses is deceased. As you watch the shadows of the sun move around a sundial, couples are challenged to "shadow" each other with love, respect. Just as the hands on a clock move automatically, so should your actions demonstrate sacrifice, kindness, and commitment to your marriage vows. As a metronome marks the musical time, so should your marriage tick with harmony. Pray for one another. Seek a time where you can spend quality time together! Work at keeping harmony in one of the hardest areas-money. Take time to record expenses and savings. Charge no more than you can pay in one month without extra fees on your credit card. Talk about goals and dreams. Just because you are one in the bond of love does not mean that you need to give up individual ideas and concerns. Day by day, your attitude toward marriage sifts through life like grains of sand in the hourglass. If you have an unforgiving, grumpy or annoying attitude, you may miss out of many pleasures of matrimonial bliss. Such an attitude can even lead couples to think they no longer love each other enough to stay together. The time for a successful marriage may tick into divorce. Couples are not blissfully happy all the time. Jobs, family relations, even heath are issues that affect married life. But when couples seek the principles of faith, turn their time toward heaven and seek forgiveness one with another, a successful marriage can be achieved.
