Are you married?  If so, congratulations!  You have been blessed.  Your wife is a gift from God (Proverbs 18:22), and no matter the state of your marriage at present, the covenant relationship you share with her is a God-ordained privilege.  This privilege of marriage comes with responsibility, not only to your spouse, but also to God, as marriage itself is a metaphor for Jesus’ relationship to the Church.  Want to glorify God and help advance the Gospel?  Learn how to love your wife well!
