Personal Reflection:
I Believe that a Marriage that is established on Genuine Love is Purpose Driven and therefor God’s plan will always be executed for the Greater Good in the Name of Jesus. It does not matter what it appears to be (the storm, the setbacks, and the misunderstandings) If GOD is the center; the OUTCOME will always be Victorious.
Jeremiah 10:23
I know, O LORD, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps.
That being said, I am speaking from personal experience in which the LORD has instructed me on how to be an effective wife, and mother.
I no longer speak on matters that need adjustments or total change, unless I am instructed to do so. I set the tone with prayer and lead by example and allow the Holy Spirit to do its job. And it works every time.
The enemy loves to sow discord and will use petty disagreements to escalate or create issues such as, consideration for your mate’s personal needs or personal aspirations.
But when you esteem your mate higher than yourself, you dismantle the work of the enemy.
Philippians 2:3
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
A Purpose Driven Marriage is grounded on the WORD of GOD, and may experience turbulence at times, but with GOD as your co-pilot, Peace abounds, and the way is made clear to reach your destination together.
Genesis 2:18
Amplified Bible (AMP)
Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper meet (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him.
I am loved, adored, and have my husband’s full confidence because I am my Father’s daughter.
I pray that this encourages someone because being submissive does not mean you are a door mat, (That’s why you marry your suitable mate in Faith, Values, and Spiritual Gifts) it means that you recognize and honor the order in God’s House.
1 Peter 3
1. IN LIKE manner, you married women, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate yourselves as being secondary to and dependent on them, and adapt yourselves to them], so that even if any do not obey the Word [of God], they may be won over not by discussion but by the [godly] lives of their wives,
2. When they observe the pure and modest way in which you conduct yourselves, together with your reverence [for your husband; you are to feel for him all that reverence includes: to respect, defer to, revere him--to honor, esteem, appreciate, prize, and, in the human sense, to adore him, that is, to admire, praise, be devoted to, deeply love, and enjoy your husband].
3. Let not yours be the [merely] external adorning with [elaborate] interweaving and knotting of the hair, the wearing of jewelry, or changes of clothes;
4. But let it be the inward adorning and beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which [is not anxious or wrought up, but] is very precious in the sight of God.

We Fight Together: not each other!
Matthew 12:25 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
Whatever is Broken GOD can Fix it, but one has to surrender to his will and way to make the crooked paths straight and the road smooth.
Luke 3:5 Amplified Bible
Whatever is Broken GOD can Fix it, but one has to surrender to his will and way to make the crooked paths straight and the road smooth.
Luke 3:5 Amplified Bible
5.Every valley and ravine shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be leveled; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough roads shall be made smooth;
6. And all mankind shall see (behold and [c]understand and at last acknowledge) the salvation of God (the deliverance from eternal death [d]decreed by God)
