Failing to live up to the Biblical ideal of a spouse isn't unusual. This doesn't mean your marriage is destined to fail; but is does require confession, repentance and forgiveness.
You're new to the 5 Love Languages. What's your next step in learning them and applying them? First of all, discover your own, then discover your spouses love language. You can do that by reading Dr. Gary Chapman's book, The Five Love Languages.
Each of the Five Love Languages flows from God's love for us. God speaks all five love languages - including yours - so you can know how much He loves you!
How can you know if you're ready to remarry after a divorce? Jumping immediately into another relationship is not recommended. Realize that remarriage is complicated, especially when there's children involved.
If you're ever going to be truly intimate with your spouse, you must chose to reveal to them something of what is going on inside of you.
What is the definition of an ideal marriage? An ideal marriage is one in which a couple is committed to encouraging their spouse to be all that God created them to be.
Often times, we find ourselves wanting to change our spouse. Maybe changing our spouse starts with changing ourselves.
Intimacy isn't just about sex. It's also emotional and relational. Without emotional closeness, sex may be meaningless. Intimacy occurs when couples share their lives deeply with one another.
Divorce can feel like a living hell. The emotional scars that come from divorced can never be removed. Your children will be scarred as well. It's no wonder why they feel so insecure. So make every effort to seek reconciliation rather than divorce.
The fruit of being controlled by the Holy Spirit will be demonstrated by living out the fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22-23. This is not the result of you trying hard. This is the result of you being in a right relationship with God.
