ONE ATTRIBUTE OF GOD’S IMAGE IN YOU as a human being is the capacity to give, receive, enjoy and appreciate Love. It’s this capacity that enabled you fall in love and marry your Spouse. In Marriage, therefore, you are a real life Lover and you need to bear this reality in mind all the time.

As a married lover, you need to at all times be ready for the demands that this beautiful status will make on you.

As a married woman or man, you must ardently and enthusiastically believe in Marriage and all it’s components. One of my love songs says: “I Believe In Love…I Believe In Marriage…; I Believe In Love…I Believe In Marriage, The Home And The Family.” When you don’t believe in a thing or a cause, you’ll commit little or nothing to it. That’s why many Spouses, even though properly married, are still fooling around with other men or women in infidelity. They don’t believe in Marriage. They married just because they were old enough to do so and because if they didn’t, it would be an embarrassment, a reproach and a stigma to them.
Unfortunately, such Marriages have no future except the individuals concerned get spiritually transformed by Christ.

God’s perfect will is that, like Him, you’ll be an embodiment of Love; just like His Son Jesus Christ is an Embodiment of Love.

In our anchor scripture for today, we are told that even as His crucifixion approached, Jesus still endeavoured to love to His Disciples TO THE END! Just pause and think about it. A frightful ordeal that involved sweating blood, standing on his feet for hours, being scoffed at and being spat upon; merciless scourging and hanging crucified on the Cross for six long hours: all these were lined up
ahead of Him, yet He was committed to making His followers happy, dignified and honoured by stooping to wash their feet, one by one, and wiping them with the towel with which He was girded. Jesus’ life teaches us that Lovers don’t take a break. They must be on duty even when it hurts.

Be committed to your marriage vows and to your Spouse. Be courageous enough to muster the emotional strength to be always available for your Mate; and to meet their needs even when it’s not convenient but nonetheless possible. Not because you want to be their Hero or Heroin but because you know that it’s your duty as their Lover and because you want to please the Lord.

Even among genuine christian brethren, Love must not take a break; Love must not go on holiday. That’s why we are commanded, “LET BROTHERLY LOVE CONTINUE”(Hebrews 13:1)

How about friends? Even among these who practice philial love, there must be a mutual commitment that ensures the continuity of love. The Bible says:
“A friend loves at all times”(Proverbs 17:17A). If friends LOVE AT ALL TIMES, how much more married couples who are in a covenant love relationship?

Love is an unceasing virtue, an endless outflow of kindness and an unfailing spring of life. That’s why the scripture says:

“Love never comes to an end. But if there are prophetic gifts, they will be done away with; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be done away with.”(1 Corinthians 13:8; EHV)

This means that, Spouses should be ready to serve each other at all times. Love is basically about rendering services to each other. And services boils down to meeting needs, solving problems and providing solutions.

What are the services that you are to provide as a Lover to your husband or wife? They are:

(A) ROMANTIC SERVICES
This involves supplying loving kisses, hugs, embraces, sweet caresses, cuddling, companionship, affectionate verbal expressions and admirations, etc. These are to be wisely and appropriately ministered in the course of the 24-hour day.

(B) SEXUAL SERVICES.
Your Spouse has legitimate sexual thirsts and cravings and it’s your responsibility to recognize this reality and commit to meeting them.
Your duty it is to satisfy him or her as often as they need you except, of course, for when you’re on a mutually planned Fast(1 Corinthians 7:2-5)

(C) GENERAL SERVICES.
Marriage makes Spouses friends, neighbours and fellow pilgrims and you are to serve one another in nonsexual ways. This covers running errands for each other, giving a helping hand to one another; husband assisting the wife in the kitchen when she’s too tired and wife supporting the husband when he’s not coping financially, etc, etc.

In all these areas of love-in-action services, you don’t go on holiday.
You must both be ever ready and willing to serve one another in love, humility and simplicity, even when it’s not convenient; knowing that love almost always involves making sacrifices.
