       Today I want to talk about some common problems that occur in people’s marriages, and how to deal with these problems. I believe every Christian couple wants to improve their marriage—for everyone should believe that there is room for improvement—and I think most will agree with this. People should not be prideful and believe they have the perfect marriage. Just as we as individuals are not perfect, there is no way that anyone has achieved perfection within their marriage. Thusly, this information should be important to us. Marriage problem number one: Not allowing Jesus to be Head. Colossians 1:18 states, “He [Jesus] is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent” (ESV). It sounds so basic to say that Jesus needs to be at the head in marriage, yet many people fail to keep him there. And therefore, problems develop within their marriages. Keeping Jesus as head of your marriage means that he is the leader; he is the foundation and guides you in all things. Everything is surrendered to him, and he leads you by his Word.
