This will be short and sweet today. Yesterday I thought I was supposed to read all of chapter 2 and I commented on the whole chapter - which really wasn't very much.
Chapter 2:16 - Chapter 3:5 - my bible has this split out as Beloved. And my notes say that we should be kind and loving to one another, looking out for them, sacrificing ourselves to meet their needs. They can be simple things like when you get up to get a glass of water ask your spouse if they would like one too. I think this is easy to do when madly in love but we become complacent and begin to neglect these little things. Staying in love is like anything else in life. Its work :-). But the rewards are sweet. One couple in our church was married 70 years, that is not a typo! When the husband was dying his wife said he was leaving her too soon. Wow to be married 70 years and can't fathom life going on without our spouse. Now that is true love.
Father God, we thank you for marriage and family. We ask that we are always attentive to our spouse, kind and loving, not thinking of only ourselves. You created us to be relationship creatures. We ask for a right relationship with you and a right relationship with our spouse. We ask that you bless our families today, keep them together on good days and bad. In Jesus name, Amen.
