Solving Marital Challenges

Marriage is an interesting institution ordained by God for the purpose of companionship, children bearing and sharing things together in common. There’s hierarchy in marriage, the husband is the head of the family, the wife is stated as a help meet to the husband and the care taker of the family, the children are the nations they both established.

Marriages that stand on this belief are beautiful, they standout among others, the family must be peaceful. In other to know more about how beautiful marriages are, you can read articles from the likes of married folks here on this platform who are of good examples such as; @tired_momma, @Ebyoung, @farmgirl and loads of more

Another principle thing about marriages is that they are built-up in respect and love. Men tends to be authoritative at times and would love to have a woman, who would respect and submit to their opinions always. But on the other hand, women are attention seekers, they would always love and respect a man who loves, cares, adore and give them much attention as they desired. There is  a saying that love is blind, these is interpreted to be when you don’t see your partner errors.

At the beginning of every relationship or marriages these things are available, but along the way they tend to fade away. Why do they all fade away, because of some little challenges we fail to plan for or never expected?
