Some couples are living together but find it difficult to advise each other despite the fact that they know their spouses are doing the wrong thing and they forget to know that this is one of the purpose of marriage. Bible says in Eccl. 4:9-10 ''two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up''.
In every home, their must be room for correction and advice because
'nobody knows everything' (NKE) but 'everybody knows something' (EKS).
An adage says, two good heads are better than one. When your husband or
wife is doing something wrong or taken a wrong decision or wrong step at
home or outside, it is your duty to call him or her to order and advise
on the right way to go about. Failure to do so is like two blinds men that
lead each other, both of them will fall into a pit, their shame can be
easily expose to the third party or public. That is why you see some of
our leaders doing something wrong and their spouses are no where to call
them to other and correct them.
Some husbands or wives can not even dare it to advise their spouses, their house will be on fire. This is the reason why we need to be practicing all these when we are in relationship so that we can easily know whoever that can not be easily corrected. When you see two brother of the same mother enter a room and came out smiling, that means they did not say the truth to each other but when they came out with frank look it means they have said the truth to each other. Through correction and advice we can cover our nakedness for outsider to see. But correct and advise your spouse with love and respect.
