Don't make a habit of reporting your spouse (like a child) to your parents/in-laws/family and friends or to anyone who is quick to judge without concrete solution. Be wise and stop hanging out your dirty linen. The more you indulge them to have their say, the deeper the dent you create in your relationship. You are further building a wedge between you and your spouse, while also losing respect for one another in the process. Don't give anyone the power to meddle with your marriage. Most people listen to and only understand one side of the story before stamping their judgement. You Need to set boundaries and know who to confide in. Regardless of the situation, remember that blood is thicker than water and most times, blood will flow with blood and see the other person as the culprit. Deal with disputes/conflicts with wisdom. Once you are able to establish friendship and open communication from the onset, the solution becomes easier to deal with. Understand your partner by being a very good listener. Pray to God for your marriage and your own specific situation. Pray against anything and everything. Ask God to show you your own shortcomings and help you deal with them. Stop pointing fingers, Your spouse is never the only guilty one. Never wait for problems to rise before the need to pray. Never also wait until problems create a deep etch before running helter skelter looking for solution. Often times, because you have deposited prayers in your prayer bank, God would have already given you the wisdom and insight you need to guard and tackle against future problems if they ever arise that you find yourself flowing in grace and victory when the challenges sprout up. Be a #oneteam not team100.
