So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate (Matthew 19:6 TNIV).

Communication is to love what blood is to the body. And when communication stops, love begins to die. Research validates that poor communication is the main problem in eighty-six percent of troubled marriages.

They will never truly become one.
The key to a relationship in depth is communication in depth. Husbands and wives should discuss goals and analyze ambitions with total honesty. They should seek solutions and rejoice together or they will never truly become one. They will remain what some people call "married singles."

Mature love, Christian love, doesn’t come in a spasm of emotion, but through negotiation and acceptance and forgiveness and self-discipline. You have to work at real love. Set a time to talk regularly with your spouse about things that matter to both of you.
