12 COMMANDMENTS OF A HEALTHY MARRIAGE
Marriage is a journey, not a sprint. These timeless principles, if practiced sincerely, can make your love life rich, fulfilling, and long-lasting.
1. Never Stop Communicating
A relationship d!es the moment communication breaks down. Talk often. Talk openly. Talk honestly. Whether it’s laughter, serious talks, or simply checking in during the day—keep the conversation flowing. Silence builds walls.
Action Tip: Have daily "heart-to-heart" moments, even if it’s just 10 minutes before bed.
2. Pray Together
Couples that kneel together, stand stronger together. Prayer invites God into your relationship as a counselor, protector, and teacher. Submitting to God helps you submit in love to one another.
Action Tip: Create a shared prayer list and pray over it together weekly.
3. Don't W€aponize $ex
$ex is not a reward or a punishment—it's a covenant bond. Using it to manipulate your partner causes deep emotional wounds. Keep $ex sacred, frequent, and full of mutual affection.
Action Tip: Talk about your $exual needs openly without judgment.
4. No Secrets, No Lies
Hiding things destr0ys trust. Lies may feel small today, but they erode intimacy tomorrow. Transparency builds safety.
Action Tip: Commit to “full disclosure” zones—times when you speak openly with no fear of judgment.
5. Grow Together, Not Apart
Compatibility is not just about shared interests—it's about growing side-by-side spiritually, emotionally, financially, and professionally. Don’t let one partner evolve while the other stagnates.
Action Tip: Take a course, budget together, join a group, or set shared goals every quarter.
6. Make Decisions Together
Marriage is not a solo career. Major decisions must be mutual. When one person leads without the other, resentment builds.
Action Tip: Have a “couples board meeting” monthly to discuss finances, plans, and life decisions.
7. Keep Emotional Intimacy Reserved for Each Other
Let no one be closer to you emotionally than your partner. Don’t let a friend, colleague, or even family member take your spouse’s emotional seat.
Action Tip: Share your deepest thoughts, fears, and joys with your spouse before anyone else.
8. Don’t Stop Being the Lover You Were at the Start
Keep the charm, compliments, and sweet gestures alive. Familiarity should not breed laziness. Keep watering the plant of love.
Action Tip: Bring back “dating days”—even if it’s just a walk, movie night, or surprise text.
9. Don’t Sleep Angry
Bittern€ss multiplies overnight. Don’t give anger a place to sleep in your bed. Resolve issues before you rest.
Action Tip: Use this phrase often: “I value us more than this fight. Let’s talk.”
10. Do Not Cheat, Flirt, or Entertain Infidelity
Even the strongest love will collapse under the weight of betrayal.
Faithfulness is not just physical—it’s emotional, digital, and mental.
Action Tip: Avoid private, flirty conversations with the opposite $ex, and set clear boundaries.
11. Support Each Other’s Dreams and Purpose
Your partner is not just a spouse—they are a person with dreams, goals, and a divine calling. When one pursues purpose and the other doesn’t care, frustration sets in. Be their cheerleader, not their critic.
Action Tip: Ask, “How can I help you get closer to your dream this year?” and follow through.
12. Forgive Quickly and Completely
Every relationship will experience hurt. The difference between a lasting marriage and a broken one is how quickly and sincerely you forgive. Holding grudges pois0ns your connection.
Action Tip: Practice saying, “I was wrong. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.” And be quick to extend grace when your spouse says the same.

FINAL THOUGHT:
A thriving relationship takes intention, prayer, humility, and consistency. Love isn’t built in a day, but it can be broken in a moment. Guard it, nurture it, and grow in it together.
