For a comedian (and even sometimes a preacher!), the relationship between a husband and wife is the center of countless jokes. The differences between males and females and the way they operate in life can provide lots of laughter.

A lot of folks are not bashful about stating their viewpoints about marriage. Strong emotions often come to the surface when people discuss marriage. It is important to recognize, however, that whether or not a relationship meets with God’s approval cannot be decided by emotional appeals.
