You remember being sane when you got married and thought you made a good decision, but instead of wedded bliss, it feels more like two worlds collided and there is damage all around.

Sorry, it's takes so long to get back on this, but the link is now fixed. Thanks for letting us know :)
This is a very helpful and practical article. I appreciate how you have identified the top 10 marriage mistakes and what to do about them. I think many couples can relate to these issues and learn from your advice. I especially liked the point about not letting the past define the present. I agree that we need to forgive and move on from the hurts and mistakes of the past, and focus on building a better future together. I also liked the point about not neglecting the spiritual aspect of marriage. I believe that having a strong faith and praying together can strengthen the bond and trust between spouses. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience with us. I look forward to reading more of your posts on marriage. God bless you and your ministry! Affordable Virtual Therapy
