I wasn't going to answer this one but read the answers and noticed no one really mentioned to the asker what God had to say about marraige.
One of the things said was Husbands love your wives even as Christ loved the church.
That love was all encompassing, He was always seeking ways to make things better for even the lowest on the social ladder.
If couples start out loving one another unselfishly, then marraige can be the most beautiful of unions. It's only when one partner decides to go his or her own way that things get so messed up.
Love is a commitment and that very word means work, not a joy ride full time. It means do what is good for one another and honor the commitment even if you find yourself tempted to do something else. I think that is the biggest point,, doing what is right not what you want to.
A good short verse says it all. Love one another.

This could be very a lot a private alternative among the 2 men and women worried. Religion(s) have regulations that limit or condemn premarital intercourse. Much of that is construct on disgrace, and worry of 'doing anything mistaken'. If that's your notion, and you'll be able to are living with the sexual abstinence then you've got made your choice. Having intercourse is not going to routinely make the lady pregnant as you appear to have instructed within the last few phrases of your assertion, good that's how I have interpreted it. If the couple use proper safeguard/beginning manipulate, then undesirable being pregnant may also be avoided. Many men and women have a faith, think in a God but they have got no disorders in having intercourse with out being married. This is a alternative that best you'll be able to make. My perspective and selection is if you're relaxed together with your associate, in love, or wanting a sexual courting, then make love, and marriage isn't an difficulty.

I think it was a partnership he designed to safely have and raise children. It was intented that those married people share their lives and sexuality with each other. Its not about being happy, its about being holy. God never promised us it would be easy. But he does expect us to honor the commitment we made to our spouse.
My idea of marriage is forever. I warned my darling of that before we married. No divorce. WE committed ourselves before God to only each other. Marriage hasn't always been easy. There have been times that I just wanted to leave because it was so hard. But there has always been a light at the end of the tunnel. My husband knows I am there for him, even if I wanna kick him in the butt. And I know that no matter what comes at us, he'll always pick me and stand beside me. Of course its been tested! Many times. But it helps us trust each other more. Seeing that hard time, how we both dealt with it, and how we came out together and stronger. We communicate decently, but that is what I'd want stronger. I always will. The better we can talk to each other, the less bad feelings happen because of misunderstandings.

I think Gods design would be to provide a healthy and loving environment for his children to multiply. Having a strong faith and commitment to the Lord will reflect how successful your marriage can be...and I believe the only way to make it even better is to have the entire family share the same or similar values.

God design for marriage is that a man, one man, get married to a woman, one woman. They are both suppose to work together toward building their home.
The husband is the head of the wife. In order words, he leads. The husband is suppose to take care of his wife. He should treat her as the weaker vessel and give her preference in decisions he makes.
This has helped myself and my wife. We work together for the good of our home. In every decision we take, the good of the family is always taking into consideration first ahead of personal interest.
We also keep all our finances together. That has really helped us to build bonds even though it was not easy at first. She is the account, i am what you call the spender if there is anything like that. I realize that she keeps the accounts better, but she will never make a decision what to do with money, because she is always trying to be too careful, so i make those kind of decisions. So far we are doing very well to the glory of God.

God originally designed marriage for comapany and balance...now the only way a marriage can work is if God is the center. Not saying that you have 2 worship day in and day out but if God is not the common foundation, then it wont work. And the 2 people have to know that the other person completes them, but they also have to know that they were complete in their own life and their mate only adds to their wholeness, but they are not soley dependent upon them!!

God's design for marriage is written out in the Bible and i agree with it and his design is perfect as written in Ephesians Chapter five. Lets see i think my marriage could be even better if i could spend more time with my time and not have to be out of town working so much and also i would like to learn how to be more romantic for her and to be a better communicator with her!

i think that the most important thing for a marriage to be successful is communication and comprehension. without those two a relationship cant survive. we need both communication and comprehension to solve all of our problems we face in our lives. God wants us to be married because that is the most sacred thing in our life. its a step closer to what he wants us to do, God wants us to obey him and marriage is a sacred union for a couple to be involved in b/c marriage is now a rare thing that occurs.

A wonderful marriage boils to just a few things. Communication, trust, sharing, and showing of your love. If you communicate with your partner, then you will never be in the dark how each other feels. If you trust your partner, then you never have to worry about them being alone. If you share with your partner, then they will never feel left out. If you show your love to your partner, then they will never feel neglected. Most of all never, never, never, ever stray from the love you share with each other.
