Pyromaniacs: God's wisdom in marriage

Dan Philips posted a great peice on teampyro on responsibility in Marriage. I've also wrtten about this previously in the following posts on http://www.bible.geek.nz.

Responsibility - part 1
Responsibility - part 2
Commitment part 1
Commitment part 2

We finished a study on Marriage in our home group recently.

The long and the short is that if our spouse is not fulfilling their responsibilities as a husband or wife, it does not constitute a valid excuse for us to neglect our responsibilities.

If we got this one principle right (which is frustratingly difficult due to the nature of the flesh) we would have happier, healthier marriages which is a strong fostering support for godly growth.
