🍂🎞️🤎It takes boldness and liberty of spirit to do certain things well, especially those things that go against popular opinion.
🍂🎞️🤎THE FEAR OF WHAT PEOPLE WILL SAY
As good and biblical as it is for a wife to submit to her husband, some wives are not doing so. It is not because they do not know that God commands it, but because popular opinion in their environment is strongly against it. There is a widespread notion that submission reduces a wife to the level of a piece of furniture — a chattel owned and controlled by her husband, before whom she must scrape and bow. But nothing could be further from the truth.
Similarly, even though it is glorious for a husband to love his wife as supremely as Christ loved the Church and laid down His life for her redemption, some husbands are afraid to practise this in their marriage for fear of being labelled “Woman Wrapper,” “Suegbe,” “Spineless Man,” or similar names.
🍂🎞️🤎RADICAL ROMANTICS ARE DEAF…
Radical Romantics, however, are deaf to criticisms and ridicule. They are blind to sneers and jeers, and they are too thick-skinned to feel the jabs from the taunts of people who are ignorant of biblical marriage.
I remember how the pastor of a Pentecostal church in the community where I lived as a bachelor told us from the pulpit during a revival programme that he and his wife usually bathed together. He said it gave them the opportunity to scrub each other’s back. Instead of receiving this helpful disclosure with hearty cheers, it was met with scornful laughter from the congregation. To them, it was hilarious and comical that a pastor would bathe with his wife. “Hahahaha! Hehehehe!” they laughed. But did this stop the godly couple from continuing with this beautiful matrimonial routine? No! Why? Because they were “Radical Romantics” who had the Holy Ghost and were therefore “bold as a lion,” just as our anchor scripture declares.
🍂🎞️🤎NO BIBLICAL COMMAND IS GRIEVOUS
Dearly beloved husband or wife, there is no command of God concerning marriage that is grievous or crushing. Take hold of your boldness in Christ and, with it, practise all the precepts of Scripture on marriage. You will find that your union becomes sweeter than you have thus far known it to be.
🍂🎞️🤎AUDACIOUS HOUSEWIVES
I once heard a pastor’s wife declare on Facebook that she is a “One Man Prostitute.” Do you know what she meant? She was saying that she sleeps with her husband anytime he asks for sexual intimacy. She is as easily available as a prostitute, but to only one man — her husband. This is a “Radical Romantic.” This is a Word-washed, Word-driven, and Word-liberated wife. It was not enough for her to practise it privately; she boldly proclaimed it on a global platform for everyone to hear. That is a true “Radical Romantic” and a marriage enthusiast!
Some years ago, a ministerial colleague of mine also “stormed” Facebook to celebrate his wife. He boldly declared that since he married her, she had never said “No” to his request for sexual intimacy. She was totally committed to her husband and gave him her full allegiance. These are the kind of people we call “Radical Romantics.”
🍂🎞️🤎ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Sir or Ma, enough of being laid-back and lackadaisical in your practice of marriage. Since you did not choose celibacy to become a priest or a nun, but opted for married life, then do away with half measures.
Since you have “found” marriage, do everything you ought to do in your marriage with all your might, as Scripture commands (Ecclesiastes 9:10). If your spouse asks for a kiss, give it generously and in good measure.
Remember the saying of Publius Mimus: “He gives twice who gives quickly.” Always respond quickly when your spouse asks for your love, affection, attention, or passion. Enough of the habitual dragging of feet before “finally consenting.”
In conclusion, please hear this: Every matrimonial gift you possess was entrusted to you by God to minister to your marriage partner. Ensure that you deliver every one of them to your mate before your time is up. Don’t be like the man who cried helplessly in self-blame as he left his wife’s fresh grave immediately after her burial, wailing, “I wish I had given her more attention!” He had the attention she needed but failed to give it fully. Perhaps he feared that if he spent as much time with her as she craved, people would call him a “Woman Wrapper,” “Suegbe,” or “Spineless Man Who Is Controlled By His Wife.”
Be a “Radical Romantic”! Boldly practise biblical marriage with fervour and ardour, not caring what anyone will say.
