Never bring up mistakes from the past..
Mistakes from the past... never bring those up to your spouse. When you have forgiven your spouse for something they have done once you forgive them that is it, it is done. Never bring it back up, especially if you are trying to use it for your own advantage that is not love. When you have forgiven your spouse, sometimes that might take longer than other times then you just gotta leave it and trust that God has taken it. God doesn't want you to hold onto it anymore.

Be open with each other..
This weekly advice pick is about being open with each other. Share everything with your spouse especially everything that you are feeling. There is absolutly no way for you and your spouse to be on "common ground" if you do not communicate with each other about how your feeling. I hate to break it to you but your spouse doesn't have mind reading super powers. Though sometimes we just expect our spouse to understand how we are feeling, when we have not even verbalized our feel

A Happy Wife is a Happy Life...
Sure you have probably heard this saying before with slight sarcasm following. "A happy wife is a happy life." But if you actually think about this, I think one of the biggest question that comes to mind is "why is there sarcasm that always follows?"

Forgive Freely!
When you get married you say your vows to each other, I vow to respect you, honor you... to love you in sickness, and in health.. in riches and in poor... What about in times of forgiveness? I think we should add that into our vows, because I have quickly learned that marriage is about learning to love like God but it is also learning to forgive like God which means to forgive freely.

Greatest Encourager!
Always be each others greatest encourager! We know that one of the biggest roles as husband and wife is to be each others greatest encouragers. You need encouragement every single day. It instills hope and drive into you, when you are not being encouraged your mind wonders and you find yourself in a place of worry and disbelief. Without encouragement in a marriage we can't be the best wife or husband that we can be. You need to always be encouraging your spouse, so that they
