What it takes for a successful Marriage

Marriage is a commitment. Commitment means to pledge promise, guarantee,
an obligation or an oath of your word by mouth. It is a 100% giving of ones
self to the person whom you chose to spend the rest of your life with. You
have to completely sell out daily working on that thing which pleases your
companion. A blessed marriage really is one sided. I say this because the
most important part of a promise is your upholding your half of the contract,
which results in both parties consistently pleasing each other.
To pledge your devotion to a person requires a heart’s desire to please, make better and fulfill your partners need, not your own. Marriage requires continuous communication, patience, loyalty, honor, respect, listening, and spending time with each other to absorb the pleasures of life we were created to share in this holy union. Marriage isn’t based on love. Its is about companionship. The wonderful thing in having a companion is you will always have what you need in each other. Where I am week, my wife is strong; When there is a need, she is the supplier; Whenever I’m down, she cheers me up and whatever I set my mind to do, she may not believe in it but she believes in me!
Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor (esteemed worthy precious, of great price, and especially dear) in all things.
