Dear Friends,
Be careful who you talk to about your marital challenges. There are people out there who are working as the devil's agents to take advantage of every slight misunderstanding.
The devil's strategy is to steal, kill and destroy. That's what these agents do. They tell the wife whose husband hasn't yet learnt how to help around the house that he can never change. They paint a gloomy picture of the future and then let you (like Eve) lead yourself astray. They tell th...e husband whose wife hasn't learnt how to talk respectfully that she can never change. They paint a gloomy picture of the future and then let you lead yourself astray.

Be careful about these kinds of people. More importantly, don't be one of such advisors. When people come bearing tales about their spouses, take time to listen actively and hear what they are NOT saying. Gently but firmly ask them what transpired BEFORE the spouse (over-)reacted. Then gently ask them kind questions about the gaps (Please ask questions that don't blame the 'victim'). Also, let the Holy Spirit lead you on the questions to ask.
Before you start giving counsel based on a one-sided conversation, ask if you can discuss with the spouse. It is not wise to make decisions on what you've heard from just one of the spouses (even if he/she is your child or sibling). Things are rarely as they seem.
TO BE CONTINUED.
PS: Nothing here justifies abuse/philandering. If you're dealing with either or both of this, please seek godly professional help and please tell the counsellor the truth so they can truly help you. Stay blessed.
