Eccl 7:25 “the evil of folly and the foolishness of madness” — what do unloving or disrespectful reactions do to the spirit of a spouse??
Eph 5:33 — “Each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.” —Do you believe love and respect will guide the two of you in responding correctly to troubles that are bound to come to your marriage???
