Marriage is the oldest institution and when God established it, he meant it to last for a lifetime. You must be on the lookout for these 5 things if you really want your marriage to work.
1. Broken trust: It is a known fact that once trust is broken, it is difficult to rebuild. Make it a priority that you will not entertain someone of the opposite sex that will jeopardize your marriage. Avoid keeping phone numbers of the opposite sex without your spouse’s knowledge. The most threatening person to your marriage is your ex, distance yourself from them as much as you can.
Set a good example for your kids by being trustworthy. Remember you would want a marriage that your kids can learn and emulate from.
2. Lack of fun: One thing you must never forget is that you are a manager, teacher etc at your workplace but in the home you are a husband or wife. Do not carry your job title or pressure at work in the home.
You need the fun factor in the home. No one wants to be with someone who is serious all the time. Play games together and do crazy things together and remember there is nothing wrong in showing your spouse your fun side.

3. Pride: A proud person never accepts correction and is deceived into thinking that he/she is right all the time. Pride always goes before a fall (Proverbs 16:18).
When you are wrong be humble enough to say sorry, in fact saying sorry is a sign of maturity. When you do not know how something is done, be intelligent enough to ask your spouse. Your spouse is not there to compete with you but to complete you.
4. Lack of intimacy: There has to be a difference between the relationship of a brother and sister to that of a husband and wife. In Genesis 26:8 we see that there is a way in which a husband can be intimate with his wife that is evident to all. When was the last time you were intimate with your spouse?
Intimacy must not always lead to sex. Love feeds on intimacy. The bond between a couple is strengthened by spending quality and uninterrupted time together.
5. Depriving each other of sex: As a married couple you are only allowed to have sex with your spouse. Any other way is not acceptable in the eyes of God. Do not deny your spouse of what they can only get from you.
Your body does not belong to you but to your spouse so make it available for them whenever they need it (1 Corinthians 7:4). God has warned us not to deprive one another because this will open the door to sexual sins like adultery.
