RIGHT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, Marriage was a Love Affair. More importantly, it was an open love affair in which the spouses embraced, hugged, caressed, and made love in the open with the sun smiling on them and the birds watching from tree tops and singing melodies pure and true; and with joy!

Don’t for a moment forget that we’re on a mission, a revolution; and our purpose is to reclaim Marriage as it was in the Beginning. And to achieve this, you must vehemently reject building your marriage, any further, on the models of culture and traditions of men. You must build your marriage according to the dictates of the Word of God.

Now, let’s look at the first marriage and the first couple.

The first activity in the first marriage wasn’t any of the many forms of body contacts that are readily available for Spouses. Interestingly and also surprisingly, the first activity in the original Marriage was SPEECH! On seeing his delectable Wife, the first thing Adam did wasn’t to touch or welcome her with a hug. The first thing he did was to speak Cheery and Pleasant words to her. The first thing he did was to embrace, hug and caress her heart through her ears:
“And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”(Genesis 2:23). Adam’s speech was brief and consists of two dozen words only but the impact was great. In those few words he told Eve:
* You’re my very life.
* Your name is same as mine. You and I are one.
* You were made from me. You are my bones multiplied and my very flesh magnified. You are me!
How do you think Eve must have felt on hearing Adam’s short but fully loaded speech? She certainly felt honoured, cherished, loved, desired, respected and highly esteemed, appreciated and pampered.

What’s the fundamental lesson we can learn from Adam’s first response on seeing Eve? It’s that Words create the Atmosphere and the Ambience of our marriages. Your Words make or mar your marriage because, Death and Life are in the power of the Tongue (Proverbs 18:21).

You want your marriage to be a daily Love Affair? Then watch your tongue; mind how you speak; mind what you say.
As we’ve already seen, Adam spoke pleasant words to Eve. And the Bible tells us something about pleasant words:
“PLEASANT WORDS ARE AS AN HONEYCOMB, SWEET TO THE SOUL, AND HEALTH TO THE BONES.”(Proverbs 16:24). Pleasant words are like HONEYCOMB! Wow! Isn’t this beautiful? Pleasant words are sweet to the Soul and health to the Bones. In other words, pleasant words gladen, sweeten and delight the HEART and minister health and wellness to the BONES. And don’t forget that, the Bones are the Body’s blood manufacturing factory where blood is produced; and blood is the Life of the flesh!
So, when you speak pleasant words to your mate in form of appreciation, praise, commendation, compliments, admiration, approval, etc, you gladen their heart and nourish their bones, boosting their health!

On the other hand, if you’re fond of criticism, disapproval, making disparaging remarks, condemnation, and outbursts of anger and rage, you sadden your spouse and wound their spirits. How could your marriage be romantic and affectionate? Your often-wounded Mate would rather begin avoiding you to save themselves from more injuries and bleeding.

We’re on a mission, remember. You’re involved in this mission. God wants you to unlearn all the wrong ways of talking you’ve been used to over the years. It’s time to begin to talk like a Lover if you want your union to become a daily Love Affair. Enough of talking like motor park Touts and Yahoo boys.

In closing, let’s look at this scripture:
“There is one who speaks rashly, like a piercing sword; but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”(Proverbs 12:18). Don’t be that man or woman who speaks RASHLY to their Spouse. Rash, reckless and careless words stab and pierce the heart, leading to profuse emotional bleeding. You may not see the blood but they’re nonetheless real. Learn to be the Wise Spouse who speaks with Wisdom and the Law of Kindness(Proverbs 31:26), bringing healing, edification and joy to the heart of their Mate always.
