How can we show our children an example of a loving and faithful marriage?

Children learn about marriage from what they see at home, not from what they are told. Show decent affection between husband and wife in front of them, such as warm words and helping each other. Resolve disagreements with respect, not by shouting, so they learn how to make peace. Mention your spouse's good points in front of the children, not their faults. Include them in a warm and loving home atmosphere. Apologise to your spouse in front of the children when you are wrong, so they learn humility. Daily example is more effective than a thousand pieces of advice. See educating the family.
