FIVE ENEMIES OF INTIMACY IN MARRIAGE

Married couples are supposed to enjoy their marriage but some spoil it with some Attitude unknowingly. I will be sharing these Attitude with you but most times, they appear passive yet impactful on the marriage.

GOSSIP.
If you are the kind of person that accommodate gossip, you are setting your self up. The people that comes to you always with stories about your spouse are doing you more harm. Your dealings with your spouse is meant to be private. But when people can't mind their business, there is a way to deal with them. If any one gossip any thing to you, don't use the information to fight your spouse. Don't use that information to suspect, presume or assume anything. Your spouse is your personal responsibility. So, when you hear any thing about them, find the right time and place to bring it up as a conversation. ASK QUESTIONS and politely seek for clarity about whatsoever they have to say about it. Either your spouse lie to you or tell you the truth about it. Either they are guilty or not guilty, the content of the gossip must become your prayer point to shield your spouse. It should dictate to you what you need to do to make sure you don't fail in supporting your spouse... in the area of the content of that gossip.

LYING.
One of the greatest feeling your spouse can have about you is when your words are dependable. Time will actually tell if you are a liar or not. Always find a way to share with your spouse if he or she is too harsh, dramatic, and excessive display of anger. Some couple can't be truthful because they know how dramatic their spouse can be. Be matured enough to listen to the truth no matter how worse it might and have a heart to heart conversation with your spouse. Either you are the one lying or your spouse, be aware that some one is not comfortable to let down his or her guards to be vonorable because of the fear of your negative reaction. Can you really handle the truth? Will you still respect your spouse if he or she tells you the truth? Will you keep your mood and emotions in check if you really really know the truth?

ASSUMPTION.
If you are not sure of some thing, simple ask your spouse politely with the intention of understanding (stop looking for faults). Some times people ask questions just to find a way to start a fight or get an information they will use against their spouse. Are you asking to understand and sustain your home or you are asking to find fault as a weak point against your spouse? Stop thinking or concluding on a statement and attitude from your spouse, if you have not clarify what your spouse actually mean from your spouse. When your spouse is asking you questions clarity, stop picking offense at it. Seek to understand and seek to help your spouse to understand too.

PRESUMPTION.
If you have not heard your spouse say it then it's not real. If your spouse have not displayed the action, then it's not in them. Stop thinking unbehalf of your spouse. Stop predicting what your spouse will do next or say. Why are you already putting up a defense attitude over something your spouse have not even said or done? Most time, over thinking can result to this toxic expectations. Relax, and express your fears and worries to your spouse. Give your spouse a chance to express their fears, worries, and doubts without making them feel, they are overreacting or weak. Ask your spouse, are you trying to avoid me? Are you planing to abandon me? You have been unavailable and tried whenever you return home, am I no longer appealing to your sexual? This and this is what your words and actions makes me feel you are about to do, can you help me clarity some thing here?

SUSPICIOUS MINDSET.
This is a mindset that works hand in hand with presumption. Learn to always see good in whatsoever your spouse do. Expect the best from your spouse, expect it and respond to your spouse with that same energy. The bible says, the expectations of the righteous shall not be cut off. Stop expecting what you don't want to experience with your spouse. Don't accommodate in your thoughts, whatsoever is not plan of God for your marital destiny. 

Finally, you can use every thought all these five enemies project into your mind as prayer point. Seek to be protective towards your spouse. The devil comes to kill, steal and destroy. Don't support the devil by putting up Attitude and speaking words that will push your spouse into what all these enemies is suggesting in your head.

If the fear is your spouse cheating on you then, it's time to increase your romantic nature and look out for ways to spice up your sexual life. Whatsoever the devil throw at you in your mind, turn them into prayer point. Use those same negative vibe to position your attitude to safeguard your spouse from falling... in case it manifest.

I hope you have gotten value for your time? Always remember - He is YOUR HUSBAND and she is YOUR WIFE. In other words, your spouse is your responsibility. Shift no blames. It is 100% going to be your choice or fault if you fail or succeed.

    What would your advice be if a relationship constantly leads to tears and heartache. Would you be of the stay with your partner mentality and lose yourself in the process . Or would you actually support walking out if a toxic or emotionally abusive relationship?

Why Submission Isn't Your Enemy (For the Wife)

As a wife, you have probably heard that submission is outdated, oppressive, and something no intelligent woman should embrace. Social media may have convinced you that submitting to your husband means losing your voice, your dreams, or your identity. Before you accept that conclusion, ask yourself this question. Did the God who created you intentionally design marriage to diminish you, or did He establish it to help you flourish according to His purpose? Biblical submission is not weakness. It is not silence in the face of abuse, nor is it permission for a husband to dominate his wife. God never asks you to abandon your dignity or ignore injustice. Instead, He calls you to willingly honor and support a husband who is equally commanded to love you sacrificially as Christ loved the Church. Your submission is first an act of obedience to God, not a surrender to oppression. Ephesians 5:22 to 25 reveals that God's expectations for husbands are just as demanding as His expectations for w...

Modeling Christ's Love in Marriage

Marriage, for Christian couples, is more than just a partnership—it is a reflection of Christ’s love for the church. Ephesians 5:25 calls husbands to love their wives “just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” This love is not based on convenience or feelings but on a selfless, sacrificial commitment. For both spouses, reflecting Christ’s love means prioritizing the other person’s needs above personal desires. It means choosing to serve, forgive, and extend grace even when it is difficult. In your marriage, are you modeling Christ’s love in the way you speak, act, and respond to your spouse? Sacrificial love is displayed in everyday actions—through patience, kindness, and a willingness to put your spouse first. It might look like offering a listening ear after a long day, choosing to speak words that heal rather than hurt, or making time to nurture emotional and spiritual intimacy. This kind of love requires humility and a heart yielded to Christ’s example. Are ther...

6 Steps to Forgiveness in Your Marriage

Beloved of God, forgiveness is not a competition over who should make the first move. Whether you are the one who caused the hurt or the one who was hurt, God's desire is restoration. Scripture calls both the offender to repent and the offended to forgive, showing that healing begins when hearts become willing. Ephesians 4:32 says, “Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another.” The first step is to acknowledge what happened instead of pretending nothing is wrong. Honest conversations create room for healing, while silence often allows wounds to grow deeper. What changes when pride no longer leads the conversation? The next steps involve taking responsibility, extending forgiveness, rebuilding trust through consistent actions, choosing grace daily, and praying together. We do not think it really matters who initiates the process because the greater victory is that someone chooses to break the cycle of pain before bitterness takes root. These steps are for every h...
