Re: married life
What is the issue?
Keeping faith up is focusing on God. Praise God. Get in the habit of including God in your thoughts and life. Make a ten minute break every morning to spend thinking of God.
To keep faith up, God needs to be integrated into life.
Is this what you mean?
For wives, well - men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Many things makes sense to 99% of all women and only 5% of men and vice versa. There are ways to learn to cope.
Get specific. Maybe I've read something.
Common problems - women don't want to ask you to help. They want you to do the stuff that they think you should do. Here that list is change light bulbs, take out the trash, put your dishes in the sink and some individual stuff. Maybe play with the kids for 20 minutes before bed - maybe more. Should likely be more if you both work. Should be that much if she doesn't work. But she doesn't want to ask. A man thinks, "I always do what she asks, so why is that a problem?"
But as a woman I can tell you it really is. To us it says that you think of us as your mother instead of as the lovely friend and romantic person that we want to be.
So, that is one possibility for conflict. If you get specific, maybe I can help. Or tell you what to Google.

Shame and blame are the devil's tools. With God ALL things are possible.
