Day 190 – Honor and Respect the one you Love.
Today’s Reading: Song of Solomon 4 – 6
“What is your beloved more than another beloved. O most beautiful women? What is your beloved more than another beloved, that you just adjure us?” Song of Solomon 5:9.
The order of your adoration should be Christ and then your spouse. Your beloved is better than any other beloved because he is the one God created for you. When the Lord was knitting you together in your mothers womb and numbering your days He already had your spouse picked out.
As my husband and I were just getting adjusted to being married, everything wasn’t peaches and cream. We had to work at our marriage and keep Christ at the center. One of the greatest books I ever read was “Love and Respect” by Dr. Emerson Eggericks. He taught that Men need Respect in able to show Love, and Women need Love in able to show Respect. We do this when we first meet our spouse because we are trying to keep them forever, but I think we forget this when we “Tie the Old Knot”. However, You should always treat your spouse the same as when you were trying to woo them, then they will feel respected and you will feel loved.
Ladies, your husband needs to feel like he hung the moon and you can’t do anything without him, and men, your wives need to feel like a Princess that is always wanted above anything else in your life. If we keep Christ at the center and get the rest in order there will be a ripple affect in the other relationships in our lives.
No matter where you are if you get your priorities in check, your LOVE will be a witness to the world and something to be adored. It’s going to take work, but you’ve got the time. For nothing God joined together should ever be separated.
