For my Physics people, do you remember the terms "Elastic Limit" and "Yield Point"?
Eccl 4:12 says "...and a threefold cord is not quickly broken"
Which implies that even a threefold cord CAN be broken, if the tension or gnawing or cutting is persistent. The threefold cord in marriage means the couple with God...this composition (Man, Wife and God) solidifies the marriage and gives a good foundation to withstand the inevitable storms and turbulence. However, no matter how solid a structure is, persistent storms will weaken it's foundation and if the storms continue, ultimately the building will collapse. Nothing is made to be continuously subjected to stress...not even marriage.
Dear Married, 'de-stress' your marriage from time to time.
Get rid of or minimize things that cause tensions at home
Learn how to forgive your spouse EASILY...grudges put tension on your marriage
Don't keep record of wrongs
Learn how to ignore the little things (it stops you from constantly complaining/nagging)
Learn how to compromise
Learn how to make frequent deposits in your emotional account (you may need to make a huge withdrawal someday)
If you must, only discuss your marriage with people that understand and appreciate GODLY marriage (don't make a habit of this though)
Don't do anything without consulting the 3rd "string"...when we disregard His involvement and significance, it weakens the cord.
Prayerfully combat every storm, turbulence and attack
I pray peace and bliss in our homes and marriages in Jesus' name.
