Why do Christians some times criticize each other? The way we express our love for God is usually different from the way someone else does. It's an indicator of what our love language is. Neither is right or wrong - just different.

If you're frustrated about the lack of good communication with your spouse, ask them if they would be willing to read a book with you about how you can improve communication between the two of you.

Domestic abusers often blame their spouse. Scripture teaches us to love our enemies. However, love can be expressed by saying "I love you too much to allow you to continue this abuse". Move out if necessary until the abuser gets their anger under control.

Prayer is an effective communication tool in a marriage. When married couples pray together, they're drawn more closely to each other and to God.

When your child becomes a teenager, it's time to stop preaching and start teaching. Teach your teen in a conversational style because it's much more effective than preaching at them. Preaching at your teen will drive them to go elsewhere for advice.

What is the greatest commandment of all? - to love God with all our heart, soul and mind. We love God because He first loved us. And God has expressed His love to each of us in our own primary love language.

What is the attitude we should have toward our wives? We should have the attitude of Christ. Christ modeled how to love and serve others.

The book of Ecclesiastes says "Two are better than one". The marriage relationship is seen in the Bible as a friendship. Husbands and wives are meant to compliment each other.

Marriage isn't God's design to make each other miserable. God ordained marriage because two are better than one. When the husband and wife reach out to serve each other, they both become winners.

How do you keep your marriage alive now that your children have arrived? Children are a blessing from God, but children can also cause marital neglect. If you see your marriage drifting apart because you're consumed with raising your children, it's time to make a course correction.
