๐๐When you and your Spouse got married, you became One Flesh(Genesis 2:24). So Marriage is a One Flesh Life. Jesus put it this way:
“Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh.”(Matthew 19:6a).
๐๐Just as your personal or individual life needs to be attended to, nourished and cared for by you on daily basis, so also does your One Flesh Life otherwise known as Marriage, needs to be attended to, nourished and cared for on daily basis by you and your marriage partner. If you don’t, no one else can do it for you.
๐๐Unfortunately, many Spouses don’t even know this and so leave their Marriage unfed and to starve for weeks and months; and are still surprised that they are not as close as they used to be at the beginning of their Marriage.
๐๐Sir/Ma, ordinary logic or common sense tells us that everything worthwhile or useful needs regular and consistent maintenance.
๐๐Your car needs to be washed, fuelled and given routine maintenance to function at it’s best, right?
๐๐Your phone needs to be battery-charged and loaded with new airtime to give you communication, internet and all the other services it’s designed to provide, right?
๐๐Your generator needs to be given routine care and fuelled; and then it will serve you without suddenly going comatose while on duty, isn’t it?
๐๐Even your solar power supply systems need new sunshine on a new day to work; as the sunshine of the previous day might not be enough to power your appliances for a new day.
๐๐Similarly, your Marriage or your One Flesh Life needs the two of you COMING TOGETHER ANEW EVERY NEW DAY to get the respective components of your marriage such as: your passion, affection, trust , unity, intimacy and sexual desire for each other renewed, revitalised and recharged to 100 % everyday! And how do you do this?
๐๐By doing all the romantic and sexual activities God designed to characterize a Marriage relationship.
๐๐Put very bluntly we’re saying that marital practices such as touching, kissing, embracing, hugging, seeing each other’s nakedness and sexual intimacy shouldn’t be occasional or chance occurrences but daily deliberate activities that you’re both wholeheartedly committed to and ensure you give time and attention to every day! This is what it means to CLEAVE to your husband or wife(Genesis 2: 24).
๐๐Many Spouses silently drift apart only to discover after a while that there’s a huge gap between them already. Yes but it didn’t happen overnight. That gap developed as a result of not cleaving to each other through observing the activities mentioned earlier.
๐๐Finally hear this. Many think that by abstaining from kissing and all the other marital activities earlier listed(when they’re not on a mutually agreed Fasting and Prayer), they’re being spiritual. But that isn’t true. They’re instead in grave error. A spiritual man knows that his romantic and sexual life undergirds his spiritual life and so doesn’t joke with it.
๐๐When you read the accounts of the matrimonial life of some of Christianity’s spiritual titans who made mark for God in their time, you’ll be amazed at how seriously they and their wives took sexual intimacy. They knew the tragic cost of living otherwise and so took no chances.
๐๐Therefore, renew, revitalise and recharge your Marriage EVERY NEW DAY. Yesterday’s charging is not sufficient for today!

Reread the devotional piece just before bedtime and soberly discuss it.
๐๐ ๐QUOTES:
๐๐For Wives:
“Dear housewife, please hear this and let it remain in you forever:
YOU KEEP YOUR MARRIAGE BY BEING LOOSE TO YOUR HUSBAND!!!(Anselm Ahman. From Lovebirds’ Devotional of August 29, 2025)
๐งข๐ผFor Husbands:
“To be an enjoyable husband in the bedroom, have the mindset of a Service Provider. Letโs consider one Service Provider as our example: THE BARBER. The Barber makes you comfortable on a chair and puts the Apron on you so the hairs donโt fall on your dress but instead on the Apron. The Barber politely asks you what hairstyle you want and you make your choice. He barbs to satisfy YOU and not himself. This is also the role of a husband in the bedroom. Youโre in bed to meet the taste and choices of your wife. Truth is: which ever style she chooses will invariably bring you satisfaction.”(Anselm Ahman. From Lovebirds’ Devotional of June 15, 2024)
โ๏ธ JESUS CHRIST IS CALLING YOU! COME TO HIM TODAY AND BE SAVED!!!
