God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Character can never be summoned in a moment of crisis, if it has been squandered through years of compromise and rationalization.

I can tell you without any fear of contradiction or oversimplification that the root cause of all marriage conflicts is selfishness. I can say that because there's probably no better practical synonym for the concept of sin than selfishness. Sin (i.e., selfishness) is at the heart of all marriage problems.
