Marriage wasn't going well for Michael and Hayley DiMarco. Although deeply in love, their differences were igniting a host of arguments and misunderstandings. The DiMarcos talk about their early years of marriage beginning with their disappointing honeymoon to the end of their first year when Hayley was volleying thrift store plates at the basement wall just to release her anger. As Hayley studied the fruits of the Spirit as promised in Galatians 9:22, she realized she wasn't tapping into the power available to her. Once she began relying on God's power their marriage began to blossom.

Do you feel like you're connecting with your husband? If not, the two of you might want to spend more time behind closed doors. Author Nina Roesner explains that physical intimacy is as important to men as emotionally connecting is to women, and without that, a man may be less attentive to his wife emotionally. Roesner encourages wives not to neglect intimacy in their marriage, but to respect her husband's needs in the bedroom, as well as out of it, knowing that by doing so she's building a healthy relationship.
