Show What a Great Lover You Are

Be the best
You may be the best golfer at your club, in your town, in the state but that is sawdust compared to being the best husband. You work at being a good hunter, fisherman, bowler, golfer or whatever you do but would how much greater would it be if you and your wife worked as hard at being the best spouse you could be? The guys in your neighborhood, at the office, at your club all admire you for being a success in business but wouldn't it be far better if your children all admired you for being a success at marriage as a husband, as a father? Now honestly, doesn't that make sense?

To better your life you worked long hard hours while attending college or studying a trade. You must work as hard at having a better life in marriage. "Happy marriages don't happen, they are worked at." After being married for 56 years, I still have to work at it. My dear wife deserves all the effort I can put forth to make her happy. She is very content with what she has materially. Far more important is that we have a wonderful married life and I give her my all to make her content in marriage.

An example
Your children, your neighbors children, your friends children, your families children, all the children of the world deserves and needs you to be an example of a good husband or wife.

You do what you wan to do
"Chose you whom you will serve" admonished Joshua, but AS FOR ME Josh. 24:15. This is one of the greatest verses in the whole Bible, "as for me." The world can go to hell if it wants to. People can live totally selfishly if they want. Christians can play games with God and with their lives BUT AS FOR ME. Kind sir, dear lady, make your choice. What about you?

Make a resolution for this new-year
O dear people, be the best lover for your husband/spouse. Love God first and foremost. Love each other. Love your children. WORK AT IT.  "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal" 2 Cor. 4:18.

Prayer:  Father, help us all to be the best lover in our homes and in the whole world for eternity's sake and for Your glory, in Jesus name.

You Owe it to Him/Her

"Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry. But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. I say this as a concession, not as a command" 1 Cor. 7:1-6.

 

Do we need this today

Fornication and adultery are at epidemic proportions today. "may you ever be captivated by her love" Pro 5:19 and the same goes for the wife. Love each other, enjoy each other, "Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another man's wife?" vs. 20.

 

The unpardonable sin, well almost. I spoke at a big men's conference years ago. A medical Dr. insisted on taking me to the airport. We had not gone a hundred feet when he blurted out, "My wife has not been a wife to me in over 8 months, what am I going to do." Another man, I had just led to Christ said, "My wife has not let me have physical relations with her in over two years." Another man said, "My wife refused me sex and I told her 10 years ago, I would never ask her again." Every counselor could tell you scores of stories just like these and of wives being deprived of this intimacy. Read the advice columns, it will shock you.

God has something to say about that "You don't have the power (authority) over your body" to deny your spouse this marital right. He says, "Defraud (deprive ye not) ye not one another...lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency (your lack of self control)." This is serious business. Believe me ladies, that desire and drive in your husband is uncontrollable except by the power of God. Kind sir, you owe it to your wife to give her that love, affection and intimacy she longs for from you. The simple truth is "obey God." Be like Peter and say, "Because you say so, I will." Lk 5:5.

 

O dear people let's be the kind of spouses that loves each other and supplies each others needs that we can give them, for their sake, for our sakes and for the kingdom of God's sake so the name of Christ is not hurt.

Prayer:  Father, bless this couple and may they meet each others needs for Your glory, in Jesus name
