Love - God's standard of love is the way He loves. You cannot meet this standard.
Brokenness - Your marriage is broken because it is made up of two broken people. You fall short of God's standard.

Communication - The goal of communication is mutual understanding. You have negative communication patterns that you need to identify and change. Conflict - Conflict in marriage is normal and a great opportunity to glorify God, grow yourself and grow your spouse. Handling conflict biblically is a great path to oneness.
Commitment - God's covenantal love provides an example of the way you are to love your spouse. Marriage is a commitment, not a contract. Truth - You are tempted every day to believe the lies all around you regarding your marriage. You need to identify the lies you are choosing to believe and replace those lies with biblical truth.
