This is my command: Love each other. ~Jesus~

Let’s love our spouse with all our hearts! I am surrounded by women at work who when I ask about their marriages they all say “well we’ve been married forever” and they are complacent with their relationship with their husband. God says to enjoy, love, cherish, honor, and respect our spouses.
I being a newly-wed am completely in love with my husband, but what keeps me grounded is going to God’s word and knowing what He says about being a spouse. If I only love and honor our marriage based on feelings/emotions then there are days when I could be downright spiteful or mean to my spouse.
We must first go to the source of love-God, in order to give love. So let’s choose to go to God and pray that we will bring only loving kind words, that we will be our spouses helper (Genesis 2:18), to respect him (Ephesians 5:33), to love and be affectionate toward him (Titus 2:4).
God gives us one spouse and one life to love them to the fullest! Why don’t we enjoy the day we have with our spouse and never take it for granted because we never know when our last day will be. I want mine to be like the Proverbs 31 woman: A woman worth more than rubies to her husband, I want my husband to have full confidence in me and lack nothing of value, I want to bring him good, not harm, all the days of my life!.
Proverbs 31:10-12 “An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.”
Jesus says in John 15:17: This is my command: LOVE EACH OTHER. So today I pray that God will empower you to love your spouse dearly, cherish the days God has given you and love with all your heart!
There is nothing like the feeling when you KNOW the Lord is moving in your life! Thank you, Lord!!
