The two shall become one

That’s what God says about marriage. Easier said than done – right? We each want our own way. Men can get too demanding, which causes stress for the wife because they are afraid of doing the wrong thing. Women often change their intentions, creating uncertainty for the husband. Becoming one means equal status, a reciprocal arrangement. In these circumstances, honesty is the best policy. But don’t just talk about feelings. Feelings are not good emotions to base decisions upon. The relationship needs to provide mutual love and care, and often those are decisions that have to be made. You decide to put the other first.
