Ten Stress-Reducers For Marriage

Days, weeks, and months of our lives can be filled with stress. If you’re blessed to have a marriage partner, you can help one another deal with the stress. Here are ten ways to do that.

If a wife is afraid that her marriage might not make it, it can keep that relationship from experiencing the freedom that a simple light would have given me that night on the dark path. What might be the results in a marriage?
