🌹Our anchor scripture for today is the verse of the Bible that has come to be known as The Golden Rule. Jesus said of it “this is the law and the Prophets”; meaning that it summarizes the
entire Old Testament.
🌹It means that it’s the condensed rule on loving one’s neighbour as one’s self.
🌹Your marriage is your first world. It’s peopled by just two persons: your Spouse and you.
🌹If you’re going to make a success of your relationship with others in the larger society, your key is to first succeed in living out our anchor scripture in your relationship with your Spouse in the small but beautiful world of your marriage.
🌹The command of our anchor scripture is simple and direct. It’s to put yourself in the shoes of others before doing or saying anything to them.
🌹Exactly how would you like to be treated if you were in their shoes? When you know the answer, then the answer should guide your conduct towards them.
🌹The Golden Rule boils down to sowing and reaping.
🌹Sow into the lives of others what you would love them to do towards you and it will be exactly so. Now, let’s apply that amazing rule to some aspects of marriage.
🎈🎂🍇💃🎁🎺
(1) You Want Your Spouse To Be More Caring And More Loving
Such a wish is good. Since that’s what you want, first sow those seeds into your mate’s life.
For instance, as you wake up in the morning and finish praying together, get to your Mate and lovingly place an arm gently on their shoulder and ask, “My Dear, did you sleep well? How about the body ache you complained about yesterday?(If they actually did). I love you. You mean all the world to me!Please, do let me know what you would like me to do for you today. I’m at your service.” Ensure that you sound sincere, sweet and even parental.
Now, your Mate might first be surprised; particularly if you’ve been very unkind recently. But that doesn’t matter now because they’ll be happy nonetheless. They’ll be comforted and feel at home with you. It sets a positive mood for your mutual interactions during the rest of the day. You’ll do well to sustain that mood by remaining truly sweet and loving in the course of the day.

(2) You Want Your Spouse To Be More Unselfish.
Another good wish. You demonstrate selflessness. Put your mate first. And before you know it, they’ll begin to be unselfish too.

(3) You Want Your Spouse To Be More Romantic.
Great wish.
Telling them that they’re unromantic as many have done will only create a negative atmosphere. Instead, be romantic towards them. Demonstrate those acts of romantic love you want them to exhibit.
It’s not written anywhere that it’s the man who should first be romantic.
In her beautiful book titled “Romancing Your Husband” Debra Smith says: “If romance is what you need, then you pour romantic energies into your marriage.” She further testified: “When I began romancing my husband, when I started acting out in our marriage what I wanted from him, our union went from Good to Extraordinary.”! Just imagine the great change in this Writer’s marriage just because she did to her husband what she wanted him to do to her!
Instead of murmuring that her husband wasn’t romantic, she decided to do to him what she’d been silently longing from him. And Boom! An explosive outcome! Their union transformed from being just “Good” to EXTRAORDINARY! That’s what living out the Golden Rule brings about.

(4) You Want Your Spouse To Be More Clean And More Attractive At Home
You need your Mate to be more clean at home, well dressed and sweet smelling as during your Honeymoon? Do the same yourself.
Perhaps, you’d need to bathe twice a day to set the pace: in the morning and in the evening, just before bedtime. After night bathe, dab some fragrant powders on your armpits and chest, use a body spray lightly and dress in a sweet Pyjamas or a seductive Nightgown. As you do these consistently, your mate will soon follow your footsteps. This is especially if you don’t nag them. What you do will impact on them and they’ll be encouraged and even convinced to do likewise. This is because Action speaks louder than words!

(5) You Want Your Spouse To Be More Sexy?
Good! Then treat them in this area exactly as you would want to be treated.
Obviously, you’d love to be given EXCELLENT sexual service by your mate CONSISTENTLY.
The Golden Rule demands that you first forget yourself during Sex and cater to the sexual nature, dreams, fantasies and hungers of your Spouse.
For instance, if you’re a husband, don’t think of yourself. Think of your wife and her unique sexual nature. As a woman, she takes sometime to get fully aroused and ready for the introduction of your manhood into her body. And once in her, she needs you to last long. So, for her sake, make the efforts to last long until you master the techniques for lasting long.
When you make lovemaking a service to your wife and not a time to come together to USE HER for three minutes to satisfy yourself and begin sleeping, you’ll see your wife want more Sex.
A respectable Sister in her 60s confided to me that most wives don’t want Sex for the simple reason that they don’t enjoy it. Their husbands don’t make efforts to get them truly satisfied. Some husbands don’t even touch the Clitoris for months or even years.
🎈🎂🍇🎁🎙️🎺The Golden Rule demands that you seek first the happiness and fulfillment of your mate.
When you do, you’ll reap in due season everything you sowed in bigger measures.
As we go through the “EMBER” months, let the Golden Rule rule your thoughts and actions as you relate with each other in marriage.
Happy New Month!
