It works something like this:
When we access the power of the Holy Spirit through prayer and study of the Word of God, the practice of preferring one another over ourselves becomes a habit. The principle of LOVE begins to kick in and where our partners fall short, we're there to take up the slack (and vice versa). This is why we would never, ever speak ill of our mates to outsiders - knowing our only recourse is to take our concerns directly to the Lord and to our loved one. Under the guidance of sound, Godly counsel the problem is resolved, the wound is healed - and no one is the wiser. You're covered. God's way is awesome! And He means for us to share this selflessness with the rest of the body of believers. Our relationships/marriages should bear the image of Christ; shining His light to everyone we encounter along this journey.
Let's cover one another - fiercely!
