Marriage is a vast, beautiful endeavor. It also sometimes requires more reflection and purposeful action. Those getting married for the first time often require a lot of direction on what a godly marriage looks like. We have put links to several of our past articles below.

First, you need to understand the purposes of marriage. You can read about that here in The 6 Purposes of Marriage.

Second, wives are called to respect their husbands. You can read about how to do that in 7 Practical Ways to Respect Your Husband.

Third, you need to understand that your husband’s ultimate goal is not to make you happy but holy. This will bring you the most happiness in the long term. Your job is to let him lead you in this way. You can read about his job here.
