7. Faithfulness
Infidelity kills marriage. Husbands should be faithful to their wives, likewise wives to their husbands. Extramarital affair is an abomination, it kills.(Heb 13:4 [KJV])
Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
(Prov 5:19 [NET])
a loving doe, a graceful deer; may her breasts satisfy you AT ALL TIMES (always), may you be captivated by her love ALWAYS.
(Prov 6:26 [KJV])
For by means of a whorish woman [a man is brought] to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
8. Gentleness
(Prov 15:1 [NET])A gentle response turns away anger, but a harsh word stirs up wrath.
(Ps 147:6 [KJV])
The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
(Ps 37:11 [KJV])
But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Husbands should not be harsh to their wives, likewise wives shoulnt be harsh to their husbands.
The meek will enjoy their marriage. If both parties are meek, it makes an awesome marriage.
9. Self Control
(1Cor 13:5 [KJV])Love… is not easily PROVOKED…
(Prov 25:28 [KJV])
He that [hath] no rule over his own spirit [is like] a city [that is] broken down, [and] without walls.
Arguments, conflict and, all too often, shouting matches is not healthy for a marriage. Husbands and wife should learn to exercise self control over themselves.
Arguing, quarelling and Fighting in the presence of the children leaves a negative impact on them. This is not healthy.
The best solution instead involves seeking peace, settling your misunderstandings quietly in the bedroom not in the sitting room.
Where Men fail in marriages
1. Selfishness
It is generally accepted by marriage counselors that a man is more apt to be selfish. He is more demanding, more inclined to think of his own bodily comfort, often at his wife’s expense.2. Harshness
(Eph 4:32 [NET])Instead, be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.
(Eph 5:28 [KJV])
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
3. Adultery
(Heb 13:4 [KJV])Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
4. Dishonesty
(Prov 11:1 [NET])The LORD abhors dishonest scales, but an accurate weight is his delight.
(Prov 20:10 [NET])
Diverse weights and diverse measures – the LORD abhors both of them.
(Prov 20:23 [NET])
The LORD abhors differing weights, and dishonest scales are wicked.
5. Criticism
Some husbands are given to criticism.(Matt 7:3 [KJV])
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
(Matt 7:1 [KJV])
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
6. Not being head over their homes
(Eph 5:23 [KJV])For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
(1Tim 3:12 [KJV])
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
Where Women fail in marriages
1. Nagging
(Prov 19:13 [KJV])A foolish son [is] the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife [are] a continual dropping.
(Prov 21:9 [KJV])
[It is] better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
(Prov 21:9 [NET])
It is better to live on a corner of the housetop than in a house in company with a quarrelsome wife.
2. Domineering Tendencies
A man is the head of the house and not a woman(Eph 5:23 [KJV])
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
3. Adultery
(1Tim 5:6 [KJV])But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
4. Ungratefulness
(Col 3:15 [NET])Let the peace of Christ be in control in your heart (for you were in fact called as one body to this peace), and be thankful.
Ungrateful women don’t receive a lot from their hubby because they don’t appreciate it.
5. Idleness - Full housewife
(Prov 31:27 [KJV])She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
(Prov 31:31 [KJV])
Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
6. Gossip
(1Tim 5:13 [KJV])And withal they learn [to be] idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and BUSYBODIES, speaking things which they ought not.
7. Slander
(1Tim 3:11 [NET])Likewise also their wives must be dignified, not SLANDEROUS, temperate, faithful in every respect.
