A Bulletproof Marriage
Ephesians 5:31-33 “As the Scriptures say: ‘A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one’. This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the Church are one. So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.”
A life filled with eyes twinkling with love and passion for our spouse has to be cultivated because it can sometimes falter. This is part of life and one of the challenges married couples face. Fortunately, God has given us all we need to be able to maintain this passion and stay in love.
The key is to keep our eyes on our spouse, to fill our thoughts with their beauty, exclusively filling your tank with images of them alone, attaching our feelings and emotions to them without reserve. When our tank is full of our spouse, there is no room for anyone else in our heart.
A friendship developed intentionally and regularly also ensures the couple is "bulletproof". When our hearts, our minds, and our bodies are attached to each other, there is no room for other attachments that would distance us from our spouse.
We pray you choose to build a marriage that brings you all the happiness God desires for you. Make your spouse happy and you will receive happiness in return. God wants the best for your life, for your marriage and with His help, it is NEVER too late to rebuild, restore and move forward together while firmly grounded in the love that God has for each of you.
It’s your turn! Separately, make a list of what you consider to be the perfect date and your favorite activities to do as a couple. Then, give this list to your spouse. Next, decide who will be in charge of planning the next date. Make a habit of taking turns planning out your dates.
