It was Sunday afternoon when we had our Love Day in our church. We had a great time of singing, eating and playing games. Our guest speaker talks about "Giving Your BEST In Marriage". It really did interest me. As a new couple I want to learn every lesson that will make our marriage more enjoyable and pleasing to God.
Pastor Ernest Jimenez gives four practical points that can help us to give our best on our marriage.
B - Blessing
From the Greek word "Eulogeo" meaning to give praise or to invoke blessings. Be a blessing. Say words that will lift each others heart and spirit. And if we only have bad things to say about our partner we better not say it anymore.
From an article that I've read, he said that words can be a round of wounding words, once pulled the trigger there is no way to get the round back. You may forget the words that you've said but the person may still feel the hurt. The words may take a moment but the wounds caused by those words may last for years.
E - Encourage
There will be times of discouragement, our spouse given by God is the best person that should encourage us for they know us best.
Goethe said, " If you treat people as they are they will stay as they are. But if you treat them as they ought to be they will become bigger and better persons."
It would be nice if as a partner in life, we can be a someone who'll make our spouse be a better person. And it doesn't have to cost us much, we just need some words of encouragement. A little push can make someone to be on his feet and keep moving forward.
S - Sharing
Some people spell LOVE as T-I-M-E. The best way to share your love to a person is by sharing your time.
T - Touching
Build intimacy by touching. Hold hands, give her a hug, and even just touching her face can build great bonds when done with full of love. A book that I've read even said that, intimacy is the life of marriage.
