7 Truths of Marriage: Bringing Sexy BackSample

Sexy Effort
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it. Ephesians 5:25
There’s an old saying about it being the thought that counts. Unless those thoughts are clearly articulated between spouses, they can expire as dormant intentions. Try extending the effort beyond an internal consideration and present energies as external actions with and for your spouse.
One year I forgot to acknowledge our anniversary. Leah wasn’t happy about it, and although she didn’t anticipate a gift, she rightly expected an acknowledgment of the occasion’s significance. I offered up that I’d thought about it, but as you can expect, it wasn’t what she needed from me. Truth be told, I’d forgotten amidst the business of my wasted selfish efforts. Had I invested a bit more effort into making sure our anniversary was a priority, we would’ve spent a lot less effort being hurt and much more being sexy.
Little things matter. Going the extra mile is still noble, and yes, to your spouse, it’s sexy. Grand gestures seldom sustain a healthy relationship. Daily efforts to show loving consideration, respect, and care go a long, long way. Give that sexy effort an effort.
TRUE TALK:
Create the opportunities to talk about what you’d like to do for your spouse and what you’d like your spouse to do for you. Understanding each other’s love language will go a long way in helping make sure your sexy efforts or worth the effort.
