Good morning people who have the right flow in your relationships
Deuteronomy 24:5 NIV If a man has recently married, he must not be sent to war or have any other duty laid on him. For one year he is to be free to stay at home and bring happiness to the wife he has married.
This shows the right focus for a healthy marriage.
Too often, the focus of married people is their spouse bringing them happiness; their spouse meeting their needs.
I’m not sure where we got off track here, but God’s example to us is about giving our best to others. Christ’s example is about loving His Bride and giving Himself up for her.
I believe a lot of the problems that plague many marriages would stop if the focus was reversed.
It truly is more blessed to give than to receive, and this is so true in marriage.
“What can you do this week to bring your spouse happiness?”
“What can you do this week to love your spouse as Christ loves you?”
