Paul tells us it's a waste of time. We simply need to be open to the voice of the Lord revealed in Scripture and in our hearts through His Spirit -- then obey it.
God's grace has such marvelous ability. It is able to give the eternal inheritance of God to His children. It is also able to build up their lives here on earth for greater service and increased fruitfulness.
A judgmental spirit is a sure sign of SELF-righteousness, not godly righteousness.
“People wrap themselves up in the flimsy garments of their own righteousness and then complain of the cold.” (unknown)
The Bible tells us, “And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure” (1 John 3:3 NKJV). We can have an understanding and belief in prophecy and facts and figures. But if it isn’t affecting the way we’re living, then we’re missing the point.
If your garden of marriage isn’t green and full of life, you must go back to the first things first. Cultivate your love for Jesus. Go back to the Bible, and let His Word set the pace for your life.

“When Christ died, he died for you individually just as much as if you had been the only person in the world.” - C.S. Lewis
God does all that can be done, for even the worst of men, to help them to believe in Christ.
You’re not inferior because the church and the Bible teach gender roles. What makes women feel inferior is feminism which somehow has convinced women that if they aren’t acting like men, working like men, or being like men then they are inferior.
