The Bible Book of Proverbs gives such blunt & good direction for living!
Of course the topic of marriage is covered.
Proverbs 18:22:
“He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favour from the Lord.”
In Proverbs 21:9 God makes it clear that wife-driven contention makes for a bad marriage & home life.
“It is better to live in a corner of a roof, than in the house shared with a contentious woman.”
The picture of the dog on the roof makes me imagine that a distressed husband is living up there and is having his dog as his only consolation.
Wives, strive to live at peace with your husbands. And husbands, do your part to keep the peace as well!
There should be no place like home!

X-Rays image what’s inside. For every married person what’s inside should include their mate. The wedding ring is as visible as the bones in this particular x-ray. In part, Genesis 2:24 speaking to married partners, indicates that, by God’s design, “… the two shall become one flesh”.
As an x-ray picture of the hands could not miss the wedding ring, any examination of a married person must reveal their mate in some way.
In marriage: The wife & the husband must be one, on the same page, in every area of life. For example: Faith, Church membership, parenting, money, priorities, goals, values, purpose ETC.
Does an x-ray reveal that your mate is a part of you?

The New Testament calls the Christian life a race. But it’s a race with pitstops.
Our Lord Jesus came apart to rest at certain points in his public ministry.
One reoccurring theme is rest/enjoyment.
2:24 – “…eat and drink and tell himself that his labor is good.
3:4 – “A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.”
3:12 – “… rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime”
3:22 – “… that man should be happy in his activities …”
5:19 – “… eat from them and to receive his reward and rejoice in his labor …”
9:9 – “Enjoy life with the woman whom you love all the days of your fleeting life …”
Don’t feel guilty when you have special air mattress moments! They’re from the Lord for your good.
