Maintaining Communcation
There will be times in your relationship where, instead of sharing your feelings and trying to resolve differences, you'll be tempted to ask yourself, "Why bother?" Don't make that mistake. Maintaining communication with your spouse will take patience and persistence. And talking about patience and persistence, we need Christ to be in our marriage. With HIM in us, are we able to bear the fruits of the Spirit :
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law". (Gal 5:22-23)
Never assume that silence or indifference is preferable to conflict. It's not. As long as you and your spouse are interacting and trying to resolve your differences, there's hope. When you stop talking, hope dies. Keep your relationship on the front burner. Neglect your relationship and you'll poison your intimacy. It is by talking and listening that we learn to work together as a team, and that's what a growing marriage is all about.
