Paul asked Jesus a phenomenal question, "Lord, what will thou have me to do?" Acts 9:6. What a pungent question to ask the Lord yourself near the beginning of a new year! It just struck me that this is a phenomenal question for husbands and wives to ask each other. Simply say, "Honey, what do you want me to do?"
Then, Jesus made a phenomenal statement. "I always do the things that are pleasing to Him" John 8:29. How wonderful it would be if each of us could and would say that about our Father. Then it struck me again, wouldn't it be wonderful, if each of us could and would say it about our spouses! WOW,
DON'T MISS THIS
Seriously, this may be one of the most profound thoughts I have ever had about marriage or ANYTHING for that matter. "You, kind sir, the leader in the home, ask your wife, "Sweetheart, what are the five most important ways I could please you?" And you dear lady, ask your husband, "Honey, what are the five most important ways I could please you?'" Each of you, spell it out. Write it down. Now this is real communication and essential for a healthy and happy marriage.
I do always those things that please my God given companion Now take the time to think this through and make a list, maybe more than five, of the things that really would please you and bring back that loving spark for your husband or wife like you did when you were courting. IT CAN BE DONE and it will work if you will genuinely work at it.
What is it that you crave, far more than a new car or house, from the one you promised to love until death do you part? What would put the sparkle back into your marriage? What would make you notice each other like you used to do? What would restore that first love for your companion?
Dear people, life is too short and eternity is too long to neglect each other and miss the joy you should have in your relationship to each other and the joy God will give you as you "please Him" by doing what you ought to be doing in your marriage. DOESN'T THAT MAKE SENSE? Of course it does. PLEASE give this serious consideration and then DO IT. THEN write me and tell me what you come up with and how it is affecting your marriage.
Oh, I love you but more importantly, GOD loves you and wants your life and your marriage "filled with joy." All because of Calvary, sumner
