Happy Marriage, Happy HomeSample

Husbands, love your wives. If I were sending an old fashioned telegram, this is where I would say, “Stop.” You don’t have to be a Bible scholar to get this. It is all about L-O-V-E. Husbands, that is your job. 

Now here is where it gets tricky. In the Greek, the verb love is in present tense, which means it is a continuous action. Before I lose you guys, let me translate: You have to keep showing her love. Christ came into this world with intention and purpose – to show us His love. He came to sacrifice. His actions and His words demonstrated His sacrificial love. You must be intentional and purposeful or YOU WILL MISS THE MARK. 

Scripture sets the example, because dealing with the opposite sex can be tricky. We are created differently. Therefore, if a man follows the Apostle Paul’s example, “Love your wives as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her,” he will be connecting with her on the right level. Go for it guys, and be prepared to be amazed! 

Pray today for intentional and purposeful demonstrations of love in your marriage.
