Marriage Advice from Kirk Cameron

Kirk Cameron recently sat down for an interview with the Christian Post, where he had this to say:


"A lot of people don't know that marriage comes with instructions. And, we find them right there in God's word. Wives are to honor and respect and follow their husband's lead, not to tell their husband how he ought to be a better husband. When each person gets their part right, regardless of how their spouse is treating them, there is hope for real change in their marriage."

On Conflict:
"Thinking that you are going to win an argument, you end up losing. It's a no-win situation. In order for you to win, your husband or wife has to lose. When they lose, you have not built up your marriage. You have really cut them down. When couples start arguing and fighting in front of the kids, dad cuts mom and mom cuts dad and the kids bleed. They see that and it damages them. When the kids get to marriage, they will follow patterns that they see. What most people do is they try to blame their spouse and say, 'Hey, I would be a great husband if it weren't for my wife.' 'We would have a great marriage if it wasn't for my husband.' This talks to the importance of getting your own part right. There is only one person on the whole planet who you can change and it's not your spouse."
