🎸🪘🎈💕There is a kind of love that produces a grateful and devoted heart. It is the kind of love Jesus demonstrated toward the Church, winning her heart and devotion forever.
🎸🪘🎈💕EXTRAVAGANT LOVE
Because of the far-reaching and extraordinary love Jesus showed—leaving His heavenly throne, coming to earth in human form, and enduring a torturous death for her salvation—the Church remains endlessly grateful. That gratitude overflows into a willingness to love and serve Christ, enduring whatever persecution may come for His name’s sake.
To build a glorious marriage, you must walk in these same footsteps. By demonstrating a depth of love that catches your mate unawares time and again, you build a deep conviction within them. Over time, they will be convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that your love for them is truly extraordinary.
You can love your spouse so extravagantly that they are amazed by your magnanimity and sweetness of character. At this point, a wellspring of gratitude rises in their heart, making them truly thankful that they married you.
🎸🪘🎈💕LOVE AS A SOFTENER AND RIPENER
Love is like sunshine. Just as the sun’s powerful rays ripen and soften fruit, tireless acts of love soften the heart of the spouse who receives them.
Remember that the sun is generous with its light; it pours out its energy freely so that life can flourish. The sun shines every day, consistently, all year long. Your love should be the same: shining in all seasons and without ceasing.
Extravagant love, shown continually, creates gratitude—and gratitude softens the heart. A “softened” lover is like a fully ripened fruit; they are a joy to be with, and the relationship moves with ease rather than struggle.
Love is the ultimate softener, but it works best when given in large, consistent quantities.
🎸🪘🎈💕DON’T BE A PARASITIC SPOUSE
How much do you love your mate? How often do you demonstrate that love through practical acts of goodness? Are your acts of love profound, unexpected, and disarming?
Many spouses act like the parasitic leeches mentioned in the Book of Proverbs (Proverbs 30:15), always crying out, “Give, give!” When you live this way, your mate may eventually grow weary, irritable, or even rebellious.
In marriage, love must be reciprocal. As your mate gives to you, respond in kind. If possible, make it a joyful competition to “out-give” one another.
🎸🪘🎈💕CONCLUSION
Be like the sun, which gives of its power, light, and energy with all its strength. Give your love to your spouse tirelessly, without keeping count.
