To manifest perfection in your marriage, you need to know the Killers of marriage.

 

There’s nothing as important as charging hard for perfection in our marriage, nothing! Unlike what you hear every day: no one is perfect or you know am not perfect, perfection is a big possibility in all the possibilities in life. If it were not so, we will not be told to be perfect in the book of Matthew 5:48. 

However, to be perfect, we must be spiritual. The first marriage: Adam and Eve thrived in perfection when they were spiritual—fellowshiping with God in the spirit.

Can your marriage boast of a fellowship with God? This is a marital meal for another day. 

What you really need to know is that there are killers of marriage drawing us far away from pursuing perfection. 

What are they? We asked Benson Enakhena, a man whose culture and tradition are spiritual like Elijah in the Old Testament. 

Enakhena, always kind, shared these killers of Marriage with Godfrey Times Love Thursday (GTLT), saying,
