Nobody who fears and love God can be a bad spouse
The closer you get to God, the more loving you become.

Let someone (a spiritual head/figure) be able to hold you responsible for the way you are living your married life
Accountability imparts and assists integrity

6. Be watchful (Eph. 5:25-30; Matt. 26:41; 1Cor. 10:12)
Every good home is a threat to enemy agenda; the devil wants people to believe that nothing works in a home

Let your spouse find in you a friend
Life is too short to live in tension; you have one life to live make sure you enjoy it.

Be a person your spouse can trust; if your spouse doubts you, your relationship will have crisis

Don’t be too big to say sorry; in fact, be too quick to say sorry

10. Be forgiving (Matt. 6:12)
You don’t walk into the future going backwards

11. Be considerate (Matt. 7:12; 1Cor. 7:1-5)
Anything you want, do it for the other person
It is not a compliment to have a frustrated spouse as long as the issue of sexual relations is concerned

12. Be interested (Prov. 18:24)
You cannot be an interesting person until you are interested in the affairs of your spouse

13. Be relevant, don’t be out-dated (Rom. 12:1)
Remain relevant to your spouse
Women, present your best to your husband

14. Remember where you have come from (Isa. 51:1-2)

15. Be mindful of the future of your children (Mal. 2:14-15)
Your son is looking at you as a father to see the model of a father and husband; how you operate can affect his masculinity and paternity.

Irrespective of your personal grievance, calm your head and make your marriage work because your daughter is looking up to you and how you operate can affect her femininity and motherhood
Your success in marriage is confirmed if your children can boldly marry your type of person as a spouse.”
