ENJOYING A LOVE-AFFAIR MARRIAGE

Scripture:
‘I AM COME THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE LIFE, AND THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY.’
(JOHN 10:10B)

๐Ÿฅ‘๐Ÿฅ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ‹โ€๐ŸŸฉ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿซ‘Today, we are looking at a very important subject, and it is: Enjoying a Love-Affair Marriage.

๐ŸŽThis is exactly what God wants for you: to enjoy a marriage that never wanes or diminishes in quality and quantity but instead becomes ever sweeter, richer, and more exhilarating! This fully aligns with what Jesus said: โ€œI am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantlyโ€ (John 10:10). One of the benefits of the abundant life in Christ is access to the knowledge of how to live an ever-fresh, overflowing married life that’s anchored in the Word of God.

๐Ÿฅ‘๐Ÿฅ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ‹โ€๐ŸŸฉ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿซ‘WHAT IS A LOVE AFFAIR?
To begin with, letโ€™s look at the meaning of โ€œlove affair.โ€

๐ŸˆA love affair is a romantic relationship between a man and a woman who are earnestly, fervently, and madly in love with each other.

๐ŸŽAt the beginning of every serious love relationship between a man and a woman who are romantically interested in each other, there is a love affair. In this state, their hearts are ablaze with love for each other. They seek each other out through phone calls and WhatsApp messages, and they share interesting information and posts with each other. Put another way, there is robust and very healthy communication between them. They are never tired of each other. This is a love affair.

๐Ÿฅ‘๐Ÿฅ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ‹โ€๐ŸŸฉ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ๐Ÿซ‘TRADEMARKS
Going by what we have seen above as the trademark qualities of love affairs, it is obvious that virtually all married couples had a love affair, even if only briefly, before they finally tied the knot and became husband and wife.

๐Ÿฅ‘๐Ÿฅ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ‹โ€๐ŸŸฉ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ๐Ÿซ‘WHO TOLD THEM TO STOP?
Unfortunately, once married and living under the same roof, the selfsame man and woman who were so much in love with each other gradually stopped the love affair lifestyle, especially after they began having children. They suddenly dropped their identities as romantic lovers and buried themselves in the business of being Father and Mother, aka Daddy Junior and Mummy Junior.

๐Ÿ‹โ€๐ŸŸฉHowever, this is a grave error that has ruined very many marriages. The sad outcome has been the secret migration of spouses into the hush-hush world of extramarital affairs, which is, in a sense, a search in a dangerous place for the love affair they once had.

๐Ÿฅ‘๐Ÿฅ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ‹โ€๐ŸŸฉ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿซ‘BUT YOUR LOVE ISNโ€™T LOST!
However, the happy truth is that their love affair had not become extinct. It was still there, but it had become mere dying embers buried under a huge pile of โ€œashesโ€ called tradition. It only needs to be fanned back into the huge, blazing flames that it used to beโ€”and it can be!

๐Ÿฅ‘๐Ÿฅ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ‹โ€๐ŸŸฉ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿซ‘RETURN TO YOUR STATUS AS LOVERS
As we have already seen, one of the things that caused the fire of the love affair to die down was the coupleโ€™s abandonment of their identities as real-life lovers and their decision to bury themselves solely in their roles as Father and Mother.

๐ŸŠBut you were designed by God to function fully and successfully as firebrand lovers and good parents at the same time. You never needed to stop being lovers in order to be good parents.

๐ŸฅSo, return immediately to your primary status as romantic lovers. That is the first step towards enjoying a love-affair marriage.

๐Ÿฅ‘๐Ÿฅ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ‹โ€๐ŸŸฉ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿซ‘CONCLUSION
Tomorrow, by Godโ€™s grace, we shall be looking at the things you need to do to retain and continually enjoy a strong, consistent, and growing love-affair marriage. ๐Ÿซ‘๐Ÿฅ‘
