Marriage is the union of two individuals with two different personalities. Understandably, there will be differences in attitude, likes, dislikes and beliefs.
Misunderstandings in a marriage cannot be avoided. But no matter how serious the root cause of such misunderstanding, do not let anger and pride get in the way of reconciliation. The angry spouse must wait for things to cool down before initiating patching things up. Anger and resentment should not get the best of you. This is not a sign of disrespect or giving up. It means that you value the relationship much more than the negative emotions creeping in or the marital issues affecting the marriage. Drinking alcohol or leaving the conjugal dwelling is not the solutions either. On the contrary, it might do more harm than good. Understanding your spouse and the situation is the better option. Learn to forgive and forget. Find time for each other. Rekindle the spark. Remember why you married each other in the first place. Fall in love all over again. Most importantly, always make God the center of your relationship and you will never ever go wrong.
Marriage is not, and never should, be a competition. It is rather a team. The husband is the provider and protector, the wife the nurturer and helper. It is a union that brings warmth and growth. It is the bond that fosters everlasting love.
