what you say is so true, about having to work at not being selfish, & taking each other for granted. to minimize that, i think you've already done the first thing: just be aware that it easily happens. secondly, pray together and study the bible together; keep Christ at the center of your lives. if you are living the kind of life that pleases Him, then you will be living as a good husband or wife should. as obvious as it sounds: good communication. i love the scripture verse that says "speak the truth in love." as long as you can both tell each other what's really on your mind, lovingly, then little problems can be worked on before they get out of hand. also, whether you feel like it or not, make a conscious effort to do little acts of love every day.looksgood said:
it's not good, of course, to be naive or overly confident and think "our marriage will never have problems, our love will never waver." but honestly, if you're as sincere as you seem to be on making this marriage work, on cherishing each other for a lifetime, i think you're going to do great! you don't have to let the divorce statistics terrify you!
i can't remember if you mentioned this yet, do you know when you plan to get married, or are you just looking and planning ahead?
