We must always endeavor to follow the Lord closely to guard against the devil's nonsense. We should never allow anything to come between us and God or our spouse and us. Let's guard very carefully the blessings God has given us. For the most part, we can't take the Bible too seriously. Like something as seemingly simple as speaking kindly and gently to our spouse.

Think how you like to be spoken to. With sweet words, of course. There are some things that are vital to a good marriage. You can never pray too much, and it's hard to over-emphasize its importance. Lack of prayer is one way this can happen.
