All couples must learn how to tend and nurture their marriage from time to time. Relationships are like gardens and only nurtured gardens do well and bloom.
“I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.” – Proverbs 24: 30-34
“Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame. Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another: Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.” – Proverbs 25: 8-10
“Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” – Proverbs 27: 17
