🍁🍂Long before modern civilization coined the term “honeymoon” to describe the sweet beginnings of marriage, God established a decree for it in Israel. In Deuteronomy 24:5, God’s design for a honeymoon was far more radical than anything we imagine today. It lasted a full 365 days. During this year, the man was exempt from all national and communal duties to focus on one thing: an intensive life of deep passion and intimacy with his wife.

🍁🍂God’s purpose was clear: after a year of intensive romance, a couple would become so beautifully “addicted” to one another that this honeymoon state would become their normal, lifelong reality.
God’s plan is for the honeymoon to be your lifestyle, not just a season. Here is how to reclaim it:

🍁🍂1. Consciously Return to Intensive Love
The hallmark of a honeymoon is that both spouses are minded to love each other profusely. Neither is selfish or miserly with their affection. To reclaim your honeymoon, you must return to that state of being—where giving of yourself to your spouse is your primary joy.

🍁🍂2. Prioritize Intimacy as You Did at the Start
Every honeymoon is marked by abundant physical intimacy. In the beginning, you “drank” it like the refreshing water it is meant to be (Proverbs 5:15). Somewhere along the way, some began to treat abstinence as a mark of “dignity” or “spirituality,” and the honeymoon faded.
To bring it back, you must return to that original flow. In marriage, intimacy is your water—don’t let the well run dry.

🍁🍂3. Wear the “Honeymooner” Identity
Remember when people in your neighborhood called you “that newly married couple”? That wasn’t just a label; it was an identity you lived out.
Often, when children arrive, titles shift to “Daddy” or “Mummy,” and the identity of “Lovers” is accidentally dropped. While parenthood is a blessing, it does not erase your status as honeymooners. Reclaim that prefix. Proudly wear the identity of a couple still captivated by one another!

🍁🍁4. Restore Your Original Romance
In the early days, you touched often. You kissed, hugged, and cuddled on the sofa just because you were in love, not always because it was a lead-up to something else.
Your marriage should be a land where:
* Love never wanes.
* Kisses never cease.
* Embracing is a happy tradition.
* Intimacy is a joyful anthem “sung” endlessly.
This is the kind of marriage God instituted in Eden—and it is the kind of marriage that leaves no room for the enemy to interfere.

🍂🍁Conclusion
As you and your spouse practice these principles, you will find your honeymoon returning—sweeter, bigger, and stronger than ever before.

 “Beloved, it’s never a sign of the lack of spiritual power or the lack of self-discipline to have a sexual urge. It’s only natural. It’s rather a sign that you’re sexually normal, alive and sound.”
