Thriving in Marriage
Speaker: Dr. Jerry O’Connell

A Few Notes:
* Adam and Eve both put the blame on someone else. We need to not blame our spouse for our circumstances.
* There are so many books on marriage, but the Bible is the only one you need.
* Seek the highest good for one another. This is agape love. Jesus demonstrated this love by dying on the cross.
* Men communicate with their head and heart. Women communicate with their head, heart, spirit, and emotions. It’s important to know that difference.
* Pray for your husband. If you have children, pray with them for their dad.
* Respect your husband. Never say, “I’ll respect him when he earns it.” And never tell your husband, “I told you so.”
* Be patient. When men get married, they get a job they didn’t get trained for.
* A man will spend his time where he feels his success is. Make him feel like a success at home.
