“Time together is indispensible for togetherness. And togetherness is what makes up a partnership.” I just finished day 16 of the @YouVersion Plan Refresh Your Marriage In 31 Days.
“Try to always keep your counterpart’s situation in your mind when you are having an emotionally loaded conversation.” – Refresh Your Marriage In 31 Days Pride leads to conflict; those who take advice are wise. – Proverbs 13:10 NLT
As Christian husband’s I think we easily fail to remember the greatest calling we have in our marriage. We can’t out-love God. Christ loved us so much that he died for us, and that’s the sort of love we are called to have for our wives. For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her – Ephesians 5:25 NLT
Put more wood into the fire by accompanying your partner to his/her favourite place. – Day 1, Refresh Your Marriage In 31 Days I can definitely see that the busyness of life makes it more challenging to keep the “wood fires burning” of marriage. Marriage takes work and especially intentional action to keep plain selfishness at bay. If we would keep our focus on serving in our marriage then love would be more readily felt. I need to plan to be intentional about this each day.
The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord. – Proverbs 18:22 NLT I am so blessed to have Vanessa in my life. She sees me on my best days and my worst and when I have tough days she is there with love and support.
