Enemies of Love Pt 2
Bisi Adewale
Till Jesus come love in marriage must continue to be a work-in-progress issue if we really desire a blissful marriage. No marriage succeed on its own it must be deliberately work upon. Here, lies hidden things that destroys love in marriage
1. Ineffective communication. Couples should talk deeply, lovingly, openly, joyfully and truthfully; there should be no “dark room”, no secrecy, no lies or untruthfulness.
No abusive words; ambiguity; slander; nagging or any other negative words. Communication is the mother of all human relationships, when it is not done right, that means it is not done at all, every couple should guard their communication jealously. Colossians 4:6
2. Wrong handling of money. Money that suppose to be a thing of joy is an instrument of destruction in many families. Wrong handling of money is one of the major destroyers of marriages today. Couples should be open to each other in the area of money; there should be faithfulness and trust, there should be common goals, financial planning, deep communication, togetherness and financial agreement. Eccl. 10:10
3. Criticism. Criticism is said to be the cancer of marriage. As soon as a married couple starts to abuse and criticize each other, they will end up turning their marriage into a battle field. Avoid criticism like a plague, do not condemn your spouse, it won’t solve your marriage problem. It won’t cause the change you desire; it will only destroy the house.
(Proverbs 18:21)
4. Olympic spirit. This is another destroyer of love in marriage. Olympic spirit is the spirit of competition. Couples with this spirit are known to compete for leadership at home. They compete about buying of properties and building of houses, they compete to get the attention and love of their children. Olympic spirit is a bad spirit in any marriage; it is a spirit of contention and division.
