The trick is to examine yourself when your marriage relationship feels uncomfortable. What is it in you that is making this feel wrong? Is it just that you’re not getting your way? That’s a good result because life is not all about you and if we realise this and take an interest in those about us then we become better examples of God’s love for those around us. This leads to a greater Christian experience.

2 Corinthians 5:20 (New International Version)

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.

It is good to not be so self-focussed that we miss opportunities to share in the lives of those around us. To share their successes, their joy, their pain ... failures. To be a friend when times are tough. To share our experiences and learn from the experiences of others.
