Through the years I have had the opportunity to do a lot of marriage counseling. I tell all my people the top marriage killers up front. My wife told me I should change the name from “Marriage Killers” to “Potential Marriage Killers” and she was right. Every marriage has 6 things that can potentially kill it. So here they are:

1. In-laws
2. Money
3. Religion
4. Sex
5. Kid(s)
6. Communication (Usually about #’s 1-5)

I bet if you analyze your marriage you will find most of your struggles come from one of these six things. The most interesting part to me is how your parents marriage influences your marriage without you realizing it. Thus, your struggles in one of these areas are often very similar to one set, or both sets, of your parents.

Think about it. I hope this helps.
