Just because a lot of Christians give a certain piece of marriage advice doesn’t mean that this advice is good. Sometimes you end up hearing advice so often that you just assume it must be helpful because so many people are saying it. I’ve found that to be a mistake.
The devil can’t force his way into our lives and control us through force. Rather, the devil gains a foothold when we walk away from God and give in to temptation. The same is true when it comes to marriage.
As I’m sure you’ve heard before, Ephesians 5:33 states, “However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.”
