Key to a successful marriage

[Peter J Barban]

True story:

A husband had been fiddling for a while with a doorknob that wouldn't lock, without success. He tells his wife to hire a repairman to fix/replace the doorknob. The wife is skeptical and takes a look at it herself. The doorknob locks perfectly.

The wife looks up at her hapless husband in condescension and says, "You're terrible!" The husband retorts, "Either I'm terrible or you're wonderful. Which one is better for our marriage?" Then the husband reaches down and gives his wife a big hug.

Now, the wife smiles and says, "You really need me".

 

[Tolworth John]

The key to a successfull marriage is preparation durring courtship, love, communication, understanding and respect durring marriage.

Yes a husband does not have to be a DIY expert, anymore than a wife has to be a domestic goddess, but there Must be love and respect in the teasing of each other.

Lots of keys..
here's one.

Early on.....Find out what your mate hates, and don't ever do that.
Early on....Find out what your made loves to do, and do that a lot.

To me, that's showing love and respect. "To sum up, each one of you is to love his wife as himself, and the wife is to respect her husband." Eph 5:33
