361. Common Obstacles of Marriage: Expectations, Demands, and Control Issues by Angie Lewis  
     Marriage is a learning and growth process, no doubt about it. But some of us never learn by it. If we do not learn how to get along with our spouse the first time around, what makes us think the second time around will be any different? The second time around may not have the same issues and circumstances but it will have trials just like the first time. I say, stick it out so there won't be a second time.
     
     
362. My Superman by Sally Hanan  
     I watch my husband as he slowly awakens and gets ready for his day. Each little act of love, each facial expression, each word, the man he is, the joy he brings me--they all remind me of the myriads of blessings God gave me so many years ago in him.
     
     
363. My Love by Cheri Hardaway  
     In this letter from a wife to her husband, we see that marriage is a journey, an adventure, the story of two lives entwined, the sharing of both highs and lows, joys and sorrows. In the marriage relationship, there is limitless opportunity to learn to love outside oneself, to discover the blessing of sacrificial living.
     
     
364. I am Somebody! by Cheri Hardaway  
     Long days, short nights, and a never-ending list of things to do can zap the romance from those married with young children. It's easy to forget that you had a life before children. Marriage takes work, and a good marriage takes even more work. But together, two people can remind each other how special they are.

368. Treat Your Wife With Respect As The Weaker Partner by Angie Lewis  
     What does the above scripture mean? This scripture does not mean "weaker partner" in the sense of moral or intellectual ability, but in physical ability. What is Peter trying to teach to husbands? I think Peter is telling husbands to honor and respect their wives by protecting them against outside influences and criminal abuses.
     
     
369. Is A Passionate Kiss Outside of Marriage Considered Adultery? by Angie Lewis  
     When a married man or woman even looks at another person with thoughts of sex or with thoughts of desiring him or her, it is adultery of the mind. The more we think about desiring another person and the more we look with thoughts of longing, the chances are physical adultery will occur. What is produced in our mind eventually comes out in our actions.

375. How Can I Forgive When It Hurts So Bad? by Angie Lewis  
     I know it hurts. It hurts so bad we don't want to forgive. The pain is unbearable at times and all we really want to do is get revenge, or keep wallowing in the pain that our feelings give us and remain resentful and angry. This is such a common problem in marriage today, so I feel it is worth more than rubies and gold to keep writing about it.
     
     
376. Being Emotionally There For Your Spouse by Angie Lewis  
     The vast majority of couples do not communicate properly. You might think you communicate just fine, but any time you discount what your spouse is saying, or any time you interrupt with your own view on things, you are not communicating properly. It is not that you should not have your own viewpoints, but there is a certain way you ought to express yourself without "over throwing" someone else's feelings.
     
     
377. Is Marriage Restoration Really About Marriage Restoration? by Jan Ross  
     Many have turned marriages into idols, living for the day of restoration, measuring every blessing against the standard of restoration, all the while ignoring the heart of God. God is not so interested in marriage restoration as He is in YOU as an individual, YOU as an integral part of His corporate bride, YOU as the object of His lavish love.

     Once we get rid of the idea of divorce and we get rid of the bad attitude is when we can begin to reflect upon who we are in the marriage and begin living our God fulfilled purpose.

388. Why Do Marriages Fail? by Angie Lewis

389. 4 Ways Couples Verbally Abuse Each Other by Angie Lewis  
     The power of our words can make or break a marriage. The way we treat our spouse because of our own inability to communicate properly can literally build up barriers between couples.
