Don’t allow your friends or your family to get between you and your spouse. Don’t associate with anyone who hates, disrespects and dishonors your spouse. Make them clearly understand that you and your spouse are one. Anyone who truly cares about you will honor your choice of spouse and will treat your spouse with dignity and respect. Anyone who comes to you to gossip about your spouse is sowing seeds of division in your marriage; stop them immediately. Shield your marriage. Protect your spouse’s position, image, and reputation. Stand up in defense for each other. “What God has joined together, let no one separate.” (Mark 10:9) – Isaac Kubvoruno
