JESUS CHRIST IS OUR Example or Model on how to Love. He first demonstrated His Love for us in small ways before going on to show us “Greater Love”(John 15:13). He left the glories of Heaven and came to dwell among us on planet Earth, giving us His PRESENCE AND COMPANIONSHIP. He put first things first before going on to do greater things.
When as a Husband your Wife tells you over and over that’s she’s dying of loneliness and that staying at Home alone with the children all day long is dampening her spirits and yet you continue spending all your after-work time with friends only to return late in the night, is this Love? Is this what Marriage is supposed to be? And when she falls sick and gets hospitalized you feverishly spend plenty of cash to see her recover; is that really Love? Are such efforts not selfish and meant to save you from losing her and to avoid suddenly becoming a Widower?
Or if as a Wife, your Husband being the lovey-dovey kind of man is constantly desirous of the small tokens of Love: Hugs, Embraces, and Kisses; things that cost nothing to give. And yet you deny him of these things. For whole months, he’s been praying you for Sex and you have staunchly refused. All his entreaties mean nothing to you. And then, suddenly when he falls sick and is hospitalized, you begin shedding tears and are willing to spend days sleeping in the Hospital. Is this really Love? Isn’t it because you don’t want him to die? If he dies now, the In-laws with whom you are not cordial will “descend”. And to avoid any such negative outcome, you frantically run helter-skelter to ensure his recovery.
Dear Spouses, please listen: Love isn’t first about taking big curative steps nor even about making monumental sacrifices! It’s first about MINISTERING LIFE to the person you profess to love! Jesus said: I AM COME THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE AND HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY!(John 10:10).
Be tenderhearted and compassionate towards your Spouse. Give them your attention and affection when they desires it, not when it’s convenient for you. Take their needs seriously. Jesus didn’t go to the Cross first. No! He preached the Gospel, healed the Sick, fed the Hungry first! He ministered to the people’s NEEDS first before going to the Cross to die for their SINS! Walk in His footsteps. Be concerned about the practical needs that are crying for attention in the life of your mate. Give them the small everyday things they’re yearning for. Frustrating them by your harsh denials and cruelty will crush they’re spirits, leading possibly to major health issues. But meeting those needs will make them happy, healthy and alive for you and your children for longer!
