This new year, maybe a great resolution could be a renewed commitment to give more time and energy to your marriage. I realize that not all marriages can or should last, but many marriages could be saved by asking questions like these in a spirit of humility and kindness. Don’t think to yourself, “I sure wish my spouse could read this.” You be the first to take the initiative. Have the courage to try and try again. Enduring kindness, forgiveness (and re-forgiveness), and service are essential ingredients to any happy marriage.
