In a difficult marriage, you are responsible for your own attitude. God wants to use your marriage in two ways - He wants to build godly  character in your life, and He wants you to enrich the life of your spouse.

Confession should ideally precede forgiveness. But if someone has sinned against you and has never confessed, ask God to help you forgive them anyway. This will allow you to rid yourself of the sin of bitterness.

Do you or your spouse make excuses for having an affair? Remind yourself that your marriage is a covenant with your spouse. The responsibility rests upon both you to confront, repent and restore your marriage.

Do you feel you have enough time to invest in your marriage and your parenting? Yes! The problem isn't time; it's how you schedule your time.

How do you get your boyfriend to speak your love language - words of affirmation? You can't make someone speak your love language, but you can influence them by speaking to them in their love language.

Should you be concerned about your fiancé's past physical relationships with other women? Absolutely. Typically, if someone is sexually involved before marriage, the probability of straying sexually after marriage is quite high.

Which is the greater priority - marriage or parenting? The truth is, they are both priorities. You'll regret it if you neglect either one.

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.
