John MacArthur answers the question:
What can my spouse and I do to build a strong marriage?
You should both recognize that your marriage is first of all a commitment to Jesus Christ and then to each other. Your best defense against forces that will erode your marriage is for you both to maintain a deep, profound, and shared relationship with Jesus Christ and a commitment to obey God's Word. Your faithful, obedient walk with the Lord will keep you from stumbling.
Here are a few practical principles to follow:
Concentrate on your heart, not your appearance.
Concentrate on who your spouse really is, not on an ideal partner.
Concentrate on loving your spouse, not on your compatibility.
