🎴🍂🌹🍄‍🟫🏈THERE IS POWER IN JOY AND REJOICING
Our anchor Scripture presents powerful truths but says nothing about whether you act on them or not. However, when you look at them meditatively, you’ll realise that practising them from time to time with your spouse in your marriage will lead to beautiful outcomes. After all, the Bible tells us in a number of places that joy, laughter, merriment, and a happy disposition are, among other things, medicinal.

🎴🍂🌹🍄‍🟫🏈ENDEAVOUR TO BE JOYFUL AS A COUPLE
In the New Testament, we are clearly commanded to “rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, Rejoice” (Philippians 4:4) and “rejoice evermore” (1 Thessalonians 5:16)! The Bible also shows that joy strengthens us (Nehemiah 8:10).
🌹Furthermore, it commands husbands to rejoice with their wives (Proverbs 5:18) and says that living joyfully with them is one of life’s best gifts (Ecclesiastes 9:9).

🎴🍂🌹🍄‍🟫🏈PAUSE, TAKE A BREAK AND FEAST
In view of all that we have said above, it becomes an act of wisdom for spouses to pause from time to time and put the words of our anchor Scripture for today into practice.

🎴🍂🌹🍄‍🟫🏈NOT NECESSARILY A BIG FEAST
Thankfully, our anchor Scripture doesn’t say that a feast must be big before it can create an atmosphere of joy that generates laughter. Neither does it ask you to present barrels of wine before there can be a merry mood.
🌹This means that a small feast in the bedroom, with as few as two bottles of soft drinks, can spark laughter and merrymaking, creating fond memories that you’ll both look back on and remember with smiles in the years ahead.

🎴🍂🌹🍄‍🟫🏈LET THE MUSIC PLAY ON!
And, of course, we all know that a feast isn’t complete without music and dancing. Thankfully, these two additional things are within your easy reach. Your phone can supply good music, and your legs are there to cut beautiful dancing steps. To make it even more memorable, you can use your phone to take snapshots or make a short video clip and keep it for future reference.
🌹This means spouses can have a feast virtually any day. It doesn’t require extensive preparation. But how many people think about it at all? Only very few. From today, it should be different.

🎴🍂🌹🍄‍🟫🏈LOVE DAY
Every year, across the globe, there are days dedicated to honouring individuals who are strongly believed to have contributed immensely, or who are still alive and contributing to life in our world. Among such days are Father’s Day and Mother’s Day. These days were never announced from heaven. Men fixed them, and observing them has become an annual ritual.
🌹Similarly, you and your spouse needn’t wait to hear an announcement from heaven telling you to pause from time to time and have a feast to celebrate and renew your love life and marriage. Use your minds and decide to do this because it will benefit both of you.

🎴🍂🌹🍄‍🟫🏈WHERE SHOULD IT TAKE PLACE?
The kind of love feast we are discussing is a small and very private occasion, and it should take place in your bedroom. That’s where you can have the privacy it requires, as there is the possibility of getting “romantically drunk”, even though there is no alcohol anywhere in sight.
🌹This is because matrimonial love is itself a powerful intoxicant that can get you in the mood for intimacy, quite contrary to all your expectations and anticipations. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Therefore, the venue should always be your bedroom.

🎴🍂🌹🍄‍🟫🏈WHAT SHOULD IT ENTAIL?
There are no hard-and-fast rules about such a personal and private occasion. You can sit down together and craft the programme. Keep it simple.
🌹Have a brief opening prayer session. One of you should give a word of exhortation from the Bible. This gives the occasion a spiritual atmosphere. Then you can move on to playing music and kicking off the dancing session.
🌹At the right time, you can eat and drink. Then you can have a session of expressing your love for each other verbally. Tell your mate what they mean to you and express your gratitude to them for all they do for you and the children, and vice versa.
🌹You can then bring the occasion to an end by hugging each other and giving thanks to God for the success of the occasion.

🎴🍂🌹🍄‍🟫🏈GRADUAL TRANSFORMATION
Doing this regularly will, over time, lead to a quiet transformation of your relationship. It might happen very slowly. But, for sure, you can’t do it and have your relationship remain the same.
🌹It’s like watering flowers. You won’t see the flowers growing within the next hour or even the next three hours. But just leave them alone, and by the time you check on them three days later, you’ll find that they have grown.
🌹Your marriage is like a flower in a vase. As you water it with love feasts, among other things, it will grow. You’ll become closer to each other.

🎴🍂🌹🍄‍🟫🏈DANCING IS AN INDOOR EXERCISE
The act of dancing regularly during your weekly, fortnightly, or monthly love feast will benefit your health too. Why? Because dancing is a form of physical and emotional exercise. It enhances joy by lowering stress and lifting your mood.
🌹As a form of physical fitness exercise, dancing helps keep your heart healthy, builds strength, and burns calories.

🎴🍂🌹🍄‍🟫🏈FOR THE VERY ELDERLY SPOUSES
However, if you’re very elderly, mind your dancing speed to avoid tripping and falling. Ensure that there is no water on your bedroom floor, and see to it that your footwear is suitable for safe dancing.

🎴🍂🌹🍄‍🟫🏈CONCLUSION
Your marriage will become richer, stronger, and sweeter as you create time for love feasts from time to time.
🌹And, in closing, it’s important to add that, minutes before the occasion begins, you should take time to freshen up, brush your teeth, comb your hair, wear something attractive, spray a little scent, and look good for each other.
🌹This is because your love feast is another form of honeymoon. So, look sweet, act sweet, and indeed, be sweet to each other. 🌹🍂
