Tonight my wife gave me a major inspiration for a series of articles that I will call Fortifying my marriage.  You see, we were walking home from Bible Study tonight, and she was telling me how happy she is for marrying me.  We just had our six-month anniversary on Friday, and I promised her she would feel the same way on our 60th anniversary.  So, to keep this promise (and I rarely make promises) I will tackle 5 big issues facing married couples.  Hopefully they keep my marriage sound, and help save other marriages as well.

1. Money -Universally regarded as the number one cause for divorce.
2. Infidelity - A close second in certain rankings.
3. Abuse - Both spousal and drug/alcohol
4. Poor Communication - The most common reason for T.V. breakups.
5. Lack of Commitment - The one that is encouraged by T.V. in-laws on sitcoms.
