The 'CO's of Marriage

MARRIAGE:


Covenant - a spiritual contract made between God and the couple [communion, consecrate]

Commitment - one man with one woman, for life [until the coffin]

Companion - best friends for life; “you complete me”

Compatible - become this for their sake

Convenience - love is not convenient; it takes effort. Serve your partner in the way they receive love

Communication - talk about life and difficulties in a healthy way. Listen lots—really hear your partner. Confirm, Compliment & Complement each other often. Build Confidence.

Cooperation - work together for each other and the good of the family in all things

Constant - never give up

Consistent - always be there for each other and be for each other

Contentment - be satisfied with each other [comfortable]

Coitus - enjoy marital bliss and the joy of providing physical pleasure for each other; it is a shared honor and a worship experience

Conflict - work to resolve problems and disputes [compassion, commiserate, concede not conceit or condescend]. Reconcile.

Co$tly - not just shared money, but make this relationship the priority above all others

Co- - it’s all about togetherness [cohesion, collaborate, common, combine, etc.]

Coalesce - grow together; unite into one body

Community - grow into one

Cocreate - make the family all it is supposed to be through Jesus

Coffee - spend meal and relaxation time together & buy her chocolate

Comedy - have fun together

Confess - pray with and for each other [confide]

Not codependent since that is a toxic relationship accepting, condoning and tolerating sin.
