DO NOT BE A SELFISH SPROUSE, ACKNOWLEDGE THE OTHER PERSON IN YOU AND WITH YOU

The two, the man and the woman become "one flesh" not "one" when they both exchange their marital vows. Genesis 2:24(emphasis mine).
Yeah, I made emphasis on one flesh because I wanted us to really understand what God meant when He said the two shall become one flesh. Now, we all know the flesh suffers a lot and also enjoys. The flesh goes through thorough discipline to be able to prevent some things.
The flesh(our physically seen body) is open to so many things, it is in this body that a lot of activities is taken place. We eat in our bodies, we go to work in our bodies...

Now imagine where the flesh undergoes these activities it becomes weak and tired, the flesh feels the effect of all it has done.The flesh responds to stimuli, it responds to touch, sound etc.
Hence, when two become one flesh, they combine the effects on both bodies and they begin to share the burden. Whatever it is, be it joy, be it sorrow, be it hurt, pain anything the flesh feels, both flesh will face it together because they have been connected, they have been merged.
What I feel, my partner feels, when I am hurt, my partner is hurt, when my partner is happy, I am happy. As long as it is what I feel at that moment.

Two activities cannot take place in one place at the same time, not possible, then it is far from possible for two feelings to take place at the same time in one body.
You can't be weak and be strong at the same time, you can't feel pain and feel relief at the same time, not possible! So whatever Mr A is feeling Mrs A is feeling. See the similarity in the letter used for both genders, the two are one, just different genders.
When your spouse is not feeling happy, you automatically feel the same way. Share in their burden, share in their hurt that is what God is saying, when one of you is beaten it means the both of you are beaten. Do not separate yourself from the bond that binds you hence you become one flesh each.
Some couples are ignorant of some of these facts hence they have issues in their marriage. It is either the man is selfish, never wants to give or the woman is controlling.
These acts are selfish: not considering the other person. God never painted the picture that way, He saw more than what is going on between couples these days.
When you exchange your vows, you exchange your life it becomes two in one. Do not be a selfish spouse, acknowledge the other person in you and with you.What you won't do to yourself do not do it to your spouse.
You need to think of your partners desires
It works well

That is the key to marriage, to be one flesh. There are couples where each one is on their side and God wants us to be one in everything, one feeling, one goal, one walking, always together in love and harmony.
