Last weekend we were blessed to be a part of a marriage retreat in Pigeon Forge. We had 14 couples there ranging in ages and lengths of time married. The one thing in common was that we wanted to improve our marriages and more importantly, learn more about how God says we are to communicate love to one another as husband and wife.
I met some great new friends and learned that I have a way to go as one who communicates his love for his wife on a consistent basis through his actions . The bottom line is this - the handbook for humans (His Word) tells me exactly how love behaves. I just have to get self out of the way!
To the other husbands I say, let's use what we've learned and challenge one another to continue to express our love for our wives through our actions!
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV) 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
