Enriching Matrimonies

REKINDLE YOUR ROMANCE!

Scripture:
‘BE THOU RAVISHED ALWAYS WITH HER LOVE.’
(PROVERBS 5:19c)

Romance is a state of high and intense love and affection between husband and wife.

It isn’t just something that’s internalized and hidden in the heart. It’s so strong and so full it overflows in the outward life of the couple. It is evidenced by peace, harmony and cordiality between the Spouses; as well as open displays of passion, intimacy, fondness, and sweet affection for and towards each other.

Such a couple are visibly in love and are virtually inseparable and cannot bear each other’s absence for too long!

In the early days, weeks and months of Marriage, most couples indeed have their union bubbling with Romance. But gradually and as a result of distractions and lack of watchfulness, their romance turned sour.

And with romance turned sour, it’s stale odours and altered taste soon filled the formally sweet union. It’s at this point that some Spouses begin to think of extramarital affairs; as it now “seems” to them that they married a wrong person.

Couples, please pay close attention!

At the begining of Marriage, Romance is automatic. But after sometime, you would have to daily cultivate it until it becomes your mutual lifestyle as married lovers.

It was good to fall in love and get married. But once married, you must daily make efforts to BE IN LOVE, STAY IN LOVE and GROW IN LOVE! Heres where many have missed it.

So, how do you flush out your soured romance and refill your Marriage with fresh, hot and sweetly fragrant romance?

It’s simple!

By diligently returning to all your love practices of the past and others that we shall discuss tomorrow by God’s grace.6
