The Idea dhat Marriage is Work
Don’t look at marriage as if it’s work or a struggle. That attitude will wear you down. Who wants to get out of job and come back home to work all their life? Look at marriage as a journey with your best friend. Approach marriage with the right attitude

Unattended Issues
Don’t pile up issues, address them immediately. Pending issues threaten the joy in your marriage

Rigidity in Sex
Do not be rigid when it is time to be intimate with your spouse. Be free and allow him to survey the land and enjoy the benefits of romance and be satisfied. Allow him drink water from his cistern.

Lack of Laughter
Stop being too serious, laugh, tease each other, watch, have fun

Domestic Talks
Don’t reduce your conversations to be just about chores, bills, responsibilities and parenthood. Talk about life, feelings, romance each other, smooth talk each other, heighten intimacy

No More Dating
Just because you are married doesn’t mean that you stop going out on dates. Dress up, go out, do dinners, go for concerts, picnics, vacations. Go out as a couple

Over Spiritualizing Things
Don’t turn everything to a spiritual talk just because you want to show you are Godly. God cares about every aspect of your life, not just your spirit. There is a time for everything

Seclusion
Don’t isolate yourselves as a couple, make friends, invite visitors home, have get togethers, see what other married couples are doing, socialize while still remaining faithful, bless lives together as a couple

Intrusion
Do not allow outsiders to come and interfere with what you two are building. Only you two carry the vision for your marriage, not your Pastor, your parents or friends

Lack of New Experience
Give each other new experiences. Dress up, look good, read up, grow mentality, make progress so that you are able to stimulate your spouse mentally, sexually and visually

Loneliness
Yes, you can be married and lonely. This happens when you don’t give each other time, when you don’t do things together, when you don’t make effort to understand each other. Don’t make your spouse feel single

Selfishness
It is so boring to be married to a self centered person, don’t be such a person.
