Very cool :)  Of course, if a the dude is playing his cards right...he is seeking to imitate St. Joseph in every way possible with a vengeance! :)

What should also be added, and really most important of all for both spouses:  Eat, Sleep, and Breath all things perfecting Charity!  Perfect Charity to acquire Perfect Charity..aka.. become worthy of sainthood :)   Divine Love elevates and perfects mere human love only insofar as one unites him or herself to Divinity.  As the perfection of the spouses goes - so goes all authentic fulfillment, happiness, and joy.

The quick guide is below...

10 Ways a Christian Woman Can Prevent Her Marriage From Divorce

1) Become Best Friends with God.
❤ ❥ • Stay in God's presence, (Psalm 16:11)
❤ ❥ • Renew your mind with God's Word, (Romans 12:1-2).

2) Deal with Your Issues
❤ ❥ • What are your issues? Are you angry, holding onto forgiveness, bitterness, emotional ties, or ex-boyfriend/husband issues?
3) Stop watching/reading Housewife reality TV shows, soap operas, and trashy "love" novels.
4) Learn to forgive...quickly!
5) Be Creative in Your Communication
❤ ❥ • Be willing to communicate with your husband about your marriage. Always start off with a positive statement.
6) Refuse to compare your marriage or your spouse with someone one else's.
❤ ❥ • Sometimes it's so easy (when we feel discouraged or lonely within our own marriages), to look at other people and become frustrated or jealous with them because they seem to be doing well in their marriages.
7) Make Passionate Love to Your Husband on a Consistent Basis.
8) Take an interest in what interests your husband.
9) Let go of pride
❤ ❥ • just say, "I apologize," or "I'm sorry," even when you think you're right in the situation. The Bible tells us to humble ourselves. This is when God will reward us, (1 Peter 5:6).
10) Be content,
❤ ❥ • (but not complacent with), where you are in your marriage. Paul tells the believer to be content where we are. Understand that marriage is a process, but recognize that God is doing something in your marriage relationship. Thank God for your husband and remember that things could always be worse, (Hebrews 13:5).
