Why Marriages Grow Apart

Eccl 4:11 “If Two lie TOGETHER, then they have heat”
Prov 26;20 “Where no wood is, the fire growth out”
For the fire of intimacy to remain and be sustained many years after the couple exchanged Wedding vows, that Couple must learn the Law of TOGETHER.
What does that Mean?
Simply put, “The more they do together, the more together they are.”
“The less they do together, the less together they are.”
Couples must imbibe the habit of doing things together, and fight the things that seek to come in-between them, things like Work, Bills, Friends, phone, tv, even Kids.
Reduce the SEPARATE DEALINGS and increase their TOGETHER DEALINGS.
