“Ten Secrets to a Happy Marriage...1. God has you here to serve one another. Love acted out is serving. 2. Women need respect and nurturing. Love your wife so she knows you'd lay your life down for her. Continue to date her and admire her. Share a hobby- find something you can do to have fun together. 3. Laugh often. (page 239)”
Elizabeth Baxter (in letter) -
“4. Be patient. Love crumbles quickly under the weight of unmet expectations. (page 239)”
Elizabeth Baxter (in letter) -
“5. Spend more time trying to fix yourself than your spouse. 6. Keep short accounts. The Bible says, "Do not let the sun go down while you are angry." Make it a habit to forgive. (page 239)”
Elizabeth Baxter (in letter) -
“7. Determine up front that divorce is not an option. 8. Learn about love languages. Not all people show love or receive it in the same way. You want a back rub and your spouse wants a clean kitchen. The love languages are fairly simple: acts of service, time, physical touch, gifts, and words of affirmation. Learn them. Love is better received when it's in the language that person speaks. 9. Words of affirmation are a love language for all men. 10. Men are born leaders. He cannot lead unless she gives him the confidence to do so. If you love your husband, build him up. Confident men do not seek love outside the home. (page 240)”
