Okay...I know that God reveals information on how to do something really right to some so that they, in turn, can share what they have learned with others. If YOU know some of the secrets to having a fantastic marriage please share them with us.
I would appreciate some rubber-meets-the-road kind of advice rather than generic things like "respect him", "love him", etc.
Is it common interests? Is it tending to your own needs so you are happy and can meet his needs? Is it just accepting things the way they are... or is it striving to make things what you want them to be? ...Please share what you have learned.

So, what can we do? The old saying is "When all else fails, read the directions." That is good advice. In this case, we need to pick up the Bible and see what God says about building a marriage which will work as He intended. Today we take a look at the directions He gives us in Ephesians 5:22-33. Friends, there are a lot of good books out there on how to have a better marriage. Books have been written by James Dobson, Gary Smalley, Dennis Rainey, etc., etc., but what we are going to explore today is far more important than all of them put together. God is the Creator of marriage. These are His instructions to us through Paul. These words apply to people who lived in Ephesus in 60 A.D., to folks in northern Minnesota in 1999, and to every time and place in between. In fact, they will apply to people who live in Zimbabwe in 2599, if Jesus doesn't return to earth before then. If we are to make our marriages work, we need to listen to what God has to say. Let's pray that the Lord would help us do that.
