If not, then your spirit is going to fight with your fiance's spirit. You also have to remember that life and death are in the power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21). There are no two-ways about it . . . you are either speaking life or you are speaking death. Both of you need to decide today to speak life to each other. Marriage is hard work. I've been married for 18 years. It is a conscious decision to stay married no matter what. You have to pray for protection for yourselves, so that the enemy has no ground to stand on with you. And . . . the closer each of you is to God, the closer you will be to each other. Think of a triangle. You on the left, the spouse on the right, God at the top.

I thank the Lord who has taught me so many things about marriage. I consider myself so fortunate to have learned all these truths about marriage when so many get into marriage blinded and not knowing what marriage is according to God. I am tying the knot in December, I thank Jesus who is my teacher for the work that He has done in me and I KNOW THAT THERE ARE CHALLENGES AHEAD but I pray that I will always learn from Him and always reflect His love to my future husband as well as to the world.. Please cover us in prayer,we have communication problems already that we are struggling with. We always pray that the Lord will help us in this problem and other problems that we face. Is it normal to have communication problems even whilst you are still dating and not even married yet, really serious problems like we can't finish a sentence without fighting? Is that not supposed to come at least years after marriage? We have been dating for almost 5 years and we have problems even before we marry. Where is the "dating- time hype"?I know the reality of marriage challenges when two people are married, but why are we living that reality already?? I feel so hurt and robbed over this and sometimes I question if we must marry at all... Please help (SOUTH AFRICA)  I thank Jesus for saving me from myself.
