The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. Proverbs 14:1
This verse causes me to pause and reflect…
Am I building my marriage? Or tearing it down?
As Valentine’s Day approaches, love seems to permeate the air, yet this year, I won’t be spending it with my hubby. While this reality makes me sad, it serves as a reminder that love transcends a single day; it encompasses an entire lifetime.
Amidst the romantic allure of Valentine’s Day, I find myself contemplating the dynamics of our relationship. Have I allowed any detrimental traits to creep in unnoticed? What can I do to improve our relationship?
Marriage is a contest to see who can be the better person.
Beyond mere material gifts, my aspiration is to fortify our marriage into an unstoppable force. Such a feat demands deliberate effort; it cannot be left to chance. Intentionality is the key.
Expressing love for my spouse is not a sporadic gesture but a daily commitment.
What two actions can I take to reaffirm my affection?
The first may come easily, but the second warrants thoughtful consideration.
Prioritizing the marriage is paramount.
Neglecting it can lead to perilous consequences. It’s imperative to pause, reflect, and conscientiously build our relationship—brick by brick. Pouring a foundation of mutual respect, then framing walls of love, which will allow us to fill each room with memories.
This Valentine’s Day, don’t take for granted the invaluable gift of marriage. Instead, vow to cover it in prayer and set aside time to celebrate.
