How to Make Every Time Valentime
25 Jan 2013
- Husbands and wives need to spend quality time together not just on
valentines day but at least once a week. The daily cares of life, paying the
bills, doing chores, work, can take its toll on the marriage putting a strain on
the relationship. Time for undivided attention, talking on matters geared
towards having the same mind, peppered with fun and laughter is essential in
keeping the love alive. Philippians 2:2 says, "complete my joy by being of the same
mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind."
- One busy couple with 3 young children has the habit of saying "I do"
every night before they retire for the night. This is their way of saying "I
commit myself to you today" despite what has passed that day. They might have
had a disagreement or misunderstanding that day but despite all that, they have
not missed saying these 2 words to each other. "Let all
bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you,
along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, as God in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4:31-32
- Amidst the rigors of corporate life and several trips abroad every year,
one husband makes it a point to write his wife a love letter every month without
miss. He doesn't e-mail it but rather, he writes it on stationery, sometimes
using different colored pens to express his love. There is a special call to
husbands to love their wives as Christ did the church. He is called to give his
very life for her. To love is to do something out of the ordinary for the
beloved and it's up to you to be creative in showing that great love! Remember
that age old adage "Expressing love increases love". "Husbands, love your wives,
just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." - Ephesians 5:25
The bible is truly our guide for life. It's the ultimate manual guide for
life, complete with instructions for success in our daily living. Let's study
it!
