What you said is part of marriage…everything else has to evolve , maintained , and taken to next level including what you said is not the only thing!

We grow and mature as the years come and go. One needs to constantly keep up with the changes that a spouse goes through: physically, intimately, and spiritually.

There is only one foundation that can make two separate people into one, and that is faith in Christ.

There are so many things, but for sure the first thing that comes to my mind is communication. That seems like it should be so simple, but in reality it’s not always. There have been times though when my wife and I have argued or schedules got messed up or whatever and then I think back, and it pretty much always comes back to not communicating successfully. It’s just something that will never be perfect, but we keep doing it!

Trusting the Lord rather than my emotions 🙂 Doing marriage God’s way even when it’s hard is what has kept us going… because in the heat of emotions I could ruin everything.

All the comments are good. We do need open and good communication. As a married couple it is good to have similar core values. We need to be honest with our spouse as well as ourselves. I do believe the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is core to a Christian marriage. Our commitment to Christ will strengthen our commitment with our spouse. We do need to trust our spouse. The thing I think is very important is forgiveness. We need to be forgiving to our spouse and toward ourselves. Sex in marriage is to be our loving expression of how much we love and adore our spouse. Giving each other 100% in all these areas is the basis of a good and lasting marriage.
