OUR ANCHOR SCRIPTURE SHOWS THAT THE RENEWAL OF YOUTHFULNESS is one of the things that God does for those He Shepherds. This act of God should attract as well as hold our meditative attention.
Why would God renew our youthfulness? It’s apparently because there are very many beneficial qualities in youthfulness. That’s why God would make the efforts to replenish a man or a woman’s youthfulness.
If God sees our youthfulness as something worth restoring again and again, then we as Spouses should prioritize youthfulness. We should, by faith, keep a firm hold our hold on youthfulness and not let go of it.

Youthfulness is first and foremost a thing of the heart and mind. From the mind it finds expression on your lips and in your manner of outward life.
At the age of 85, Caleb was apparently grey headed but no youth in Israel could talk louder than him about power, strength and warfare. Let’s hear him:
“AS YET I AM AS STRONG THIS DAY AS I WAS IN THE DAY THAT MOSES SENT ME: AS MY STRENGTH WAS THEN, EVEN SO IS MY STRENGTH NOW, FOR WAR, BOTH TO GO OUT, AND TO COME IN.
NOW THEREFORE GIVE ME THIS MOUNTAIN”(Joshua 14:11-12a)
Sir/Ma, the fact that you’re grey headed and retired from public service or the private sector doesn’t mean that you’re already at the very brink of the grave. But sadly, this is the unfortunate mentality of many.
Because they have a few grandchildren, they’re now dramatizing old age and behaving like living ancestors.
If you’re a child of God and you know that God is in the business of renewing your youthfulness, then stop thinking and talking old age, especially in your love life and Marriage.
🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Of course, your body was designed to change with the years. It would grow grey hairs and wrinkles at the appropriate time, but your spirit man and mind are designed to function with all youthful vigour and soundness by the power of the Holy Ghost.
In your Marriage, therefore, let those beautiful ways of love, romance and affection that characterized your halcyon days be your mutually accepted and abiding matrimonial lifestyle.

You may be the Women Leader in your local Church and everyone calls you “Mummy”or “Mummy General”. That’s okay. But it’s wrong when you bring the “Mummy complex” into your marriage and worse of all into your bedroom life because it’s deadly there! Your husband touches your waist and you explode with anger. “Stop that nonsense!! If you don’t know that you’re now an old man, I know my own age. I don’t want anymore of that nonsense you call “love”. I’m not just a Grandma, I’m now a Great-Grandmother and you know it.”
But Dear Great Grandmother, you’ve forgotten that Marriage is ageless? You’ve forgotten that Marriage is “until death do us part”? You’ve forgotten that Marriage means “what God has joined, let no man put assunder”? Did God say that Grandchildren and Great-grandchildren should put an end to any aspect of Marriage? Great Grandmother, have you forgotten that your husband has a sex drive that needs to be fed and that the intergrity of your husband needs to be protected now than ever before? Have you forgotten that a sex scandal in the life of your husband at this age is by far more damaging to your family than at a younger age and that you’re the only one assigned by God to protect him sexually?
🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
In some Marriages, it’s the husband that carries “Old Age” like a Ministerial Appointment. Madam tells him, “My Dear, it’s been a while we’ve related. It’s actually six weeks now. I think it’s overdue.” And the self-made Honourable Minister of Old Age replies contemptuously, “Are you not ashamed of yourself? You’re now 60. I mean 60 years old and you’re still behaving like all these Yahoo Girls. Everytime you want to be touched, kissed, hugged and all that nonsense. My dear, there’s a time for every thing. I have outgrown that stage.” And the wife looks at him, shakes her head and walks away with pain in her heart. The Honourable Minister of Old Age has forgotten that Marriage is a binding covenant and that he owes his wife the duty of meeting her sexual and romantic needs.

Spouses, please listen. The Scripture says that the blessings of God make rich and add no sorrow.
Long life and old age are blessings. Don’t
use them to destroy your Marriage and turn it into a Wilderness of Sorrow instead of a Garden of Love as God intended.
