Prudence in Marriage
A survey has shown that 80 percent of people who leave their marriages often regret doing so, within the first year. Some said they could have tried harder to make things work, while others wished they had done things differently; perhaps shown more love, exercised a bit more patience, and more.
Have you ever taken a decision that you later regretted? Yes, a lot of people have. This often happens when we act before we think. This can be done out of anger or other emotions. When we apply prudence, things are reversed. Prudence helps us to think before we act.
Marriage is one institution that requires practical wisdom in the steps we take. Irrational behavior can lead to the breakdown of the marriage. Actions should not be based on temperament but on principles. Let’s talk about communication. How do you communicate with your spouse?
– Do you show respect in your communication?
– Do you show empathy, when the need arises?
– Do you always try to win every argument?
– How do you manage information about your family?
– Are you discreet or do you make your family issues public business?
Let’s talk about finance. How do you manage your family finances?
– Do you spend on yourself to the detriment of other areas of need in the family?
– Do you live within your means or do you borrow to foot a lavish lifestyle?
Every area of marriage requires a touch of prudence. It’s never too late to start. A touch of prudence can go a long way to building a healthy and lasting marriage.
