Couple's Corner ~ August 26th

Today's couple's corner is all about compliments. Today, you and your spouse need to make a pact that neither of you will say anything mean or derogatory about one another. No calling each other lazy. No calling each other inconsiderate. Today, you will both compliment each other all day long. Feel like you run out, get creative.

If one spouse fails, the other must keep it going. This builds the other spouse up and shows them that their mistakes won't affect how you feel about them or your commitment to celebrate them.

I've seen this work in my own home and it will work in yours.

The Beauty of a Wife

The beauty of having a wife is knowing that someone loves you for who you are and who you will become. A wife, a help measured out for you, is a special gift from God. While we do not worship the gift, we do appreciate it and take good care of it. God expects us to be good stewards of what He's given. He's given us wives, those beautiful little people who remind us of things we're trying to forget, keep us honest, keep us grounded, and keep us alive. He's given us wives, those little creatures who make miracles happen in the kitchen, in the delivery room, in the office and in the bedroom. He's given us wives, and favor.

Song of Solomon

Many people mistakenly believe Song of Solomon is simply about relationship here, but it is an analogy. Remember, God told man to love his wife as Christ loved the church. In the book of Song of Solomon, we see the love of Christ in action before His death. We get a picture of a passionate love reciprocated both ways. WOW!

We believe all married couples should read this book at least three times over the course of their lives. It takes that much just to pull out the beauty and power of the love expressed throughout it.

I'm a MAN!

There's something special about being a leader. I thank God that He trusted men enough to give us authority and dominion. He trusted us with the world and all the stuff in it. Then, he gave us wives to help us when we're weak.

Being a man is a task, a duty, a responsibility, a joy, a double-edged sword. I'm a man and proud that God gave me time to figure out what it means to be one.

See Her

When was the last time you saw your wife? I'm not talking about her being visible. I mean see her with another man's eyes.

Do you remember when you loved the curve of her hips? You oogled her butt. You rubbed her thighs. You played in her hair. You sniffed her perfume. You held her and committed to memory how she smelled and how she felt. Do you remember when she wasn't yours? Just because you're used to her doesn't mean she's changed.

You need to see your wife, really see her like someone else would. That will keep you from taking advantage of her.
