"Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband." (Eph. 5:33)

A marriage may be "made in heaven" but its maintenance must be done on earth. A wife once said, "It takes both of us to take out the garbage. I can't carry it, and my husband can't remember it." Marriage is man and woman pulling together, not in competition, but with mutual love and respect for each other. Being happily married in the "maintenance" of love.
