One of the fascinating things about marriage is that every dream or notion doesn’t always come into play. Marriage is not a place where all you expected dreams and well furnished or planned life comes into manifest. There is no accidental fulfillment in marriage because it’s a place where ones purpose does always comes into reality and this more reason why we are scriptural admonished never to soul-ties with an unequal yokes with a church-goer (none spiritual broken) or unbeliever.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? You don’t get married with motives of fulfilling your entire dream in marriage. You must ensure such dream and vision kick starts while in your singleness because marriage simply means helping one another.
It’s a place where each individual contribute immensely toward the growth of their relationship by solving various marital problems. There must surely be a problem and that is reason why marriage is instituted by God for the purpose of helping one another in resolving to any uprising problems of life.
However, in the motion of trying to help one another, you can’t persuade your life partner or spouse to always dance to your tune. If you are into such act, always commanding and instructing your partner to abide under your self-will without dialogue or trying to understand how he/she feels, it’s obvious that such relationship will never be in peace but rather burnt in discomfort and self afflicted with pains.
Marriage is suppose to be enjoyed and not managing or pretending as if all is well while you are dying secretly in pains. Marriage is two different parallel poles which involves matured adults (different characters) who voluntary agreed to live happily with each other in peace and harmony.
However when you tend to get into marital relationship with the assumption of redefining or changing the character of your partner, it won't work (you're not an Holy Ghost). That is known as "manipulation" For example, if a beloved brother who often browsed through the internet and later behold a sister with an interest of marrying her.
The lady can't just approve his marriage proposal with an intention of persuading the brother to stop browsing the internet or to permanently delete his Facebook account or stop football gambling and betting. That is manipulation and it can't work-out.
These same principles also involve in individual life characters. You can't compel or work people into changing their character or self-will but you can work into them by making them to understand your notion or life policy or doctrine, by sharing your vision, ideas and dreams in such marriage.
And likewise try to make them understand the importance to re-adjust to one’s life policy. All this roles can only be implemented through mutual understanding between the couple and it’s not earned by enforcement.

You are the bible which your husband is reading consistently and
if you don’t know how to tamed your tongue and act politely in submissiveness don’t expect your husband to hearken to your preaching against football gambling or betting.
