LOVE DARE DAY 11

                                              IMG_3016a
                                                     ~~ DAY 11~~ LOVE CHERISHES~~
      Husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies.  Ephesians 5:28
 Consider these scenarios!!
A man has a wheeler that is going to cost more to fix than it's worth, so he decides to use his money to buy a new one.Seems reasonable right!
On the other hand a man is working on his wheeler and smashes his had, gets it looked at and finds out it's broken in a number of places and he is going to have a long and somewhat painful recovery, He uses his savings and has his hand fixed, and nurses it back to health! This also seems reasonable!!
In this day and age it's sad to say but most people view marriage like the first scenario, if its not working get rid of your spouse and find a new one. But we should treat marriage like the second, that our spouse is so precious to us that we do what it takes to make it work!!
In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church -- ~ Ephesians 5:28 – 29

When you look at your spouse, you are looking at a part of you. When you show him love; you show love to yourself. When you hurt or mistreat him, you are doing the same thing to yourself. So… treat him well. Cherish him. Respect him. Nurture him. Love him.
                                                                                   ~TODAY’S DARE~
WHAT NEED DOES YOUR SPOUSE HAVE THAT YOU COULD MEET TODAY? CAN YOU RUN AN ERRAND? GIVE A BACK RUB OR FOOT MASSAGE? IS THERE HOUSEWORK YOU COULD HELP WITH? CHOOSE A GESTURE THAT SAYS, “I CHERISH YOU” AND DO IT WITH A SMILE.
What did you do to show that you cherish your spouse?
What did you learn from this experience!
