When we are single, the running of our house requires that we do everything from the most mundane things to the most difficult. When we get married, there are now two people that have been in charge of everything. However, now it’s shared. Smile

Never ever think doing something is the others responsibility.

I think it needs to be 100/100, otherwise we would always be thinking that we had gone over our 50 percent.

The subject of marriage is serious stuff, oh there can be times of light hearted fun. But in either case 100/100 would be the best way to see your part of the relationship. As such, we are dealing with two people where sin can raise it’s ugly head and a Godly forgiveness must be practice.

To your children the relationship between husband and wife is a picture of what our relationship with a Heavenly Father needs to be; a 100/100 commitment. The only difference is, God never fails at His part, forgiveness is always there. The other half of that equation is human. Anything less than 100% on our part would be opening the door to real trouble.

I fully agree, I was just meaning that if one doesn't do their part a marrige can spirl out of control till the only way out of it is to stop and look at the other and face facts that you have a responablity to your family and self so yes you need to be 100 % committed to the relasionship.
And that where a life with christ is awsome Very Happy
