WE NEED TO KNOW THAT MARRIAGE TAKES RESPECT. Respecting the person you married takes action. Respect is submission, humility & appreciation all rolled into one. The flawed view of this is that couples believe these things need to be earned. Earning points to be treated with respect is wrong. This is what conditional love is all about. But God’s design for marriage is based upon unconditional love for each other. Submission is voluntarily cooperating with your spouse out of love and respect for them. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be self controlled & alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:5-6 Bottom line is if you work together, commit yourselves to the marriage & respect one another the devil cannot come in & devour your marriage. Respect your partner.
