Bible Verse of The Day – 3-6-21

1 Corinthians 7:3 (NKJV) 3 Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

So whether we are husband or a wife we are to have affection towards each other.

Have we forgotten what affection is?

According to the Webster dictionary, here are the synonyms for the word affection: love, passion, fondness, devotion, devotedness, attachment.

Let us change up the word affection and fill in the blank with these words.

Let the husband and wife have love towards each other. Let them have passion and fondness in their marriage. Let them be totally devoted and attached to one another.

This sounds like a beautiful relationship, doesn’t it? Both, the husband and the wife, are responsible to show each other such affection.

Many marriages today are under attack. They have been beaten down, and run over by the ways of the world and the wiles of the enemy.

They are hanging on by a thread. Why? Because there is no time for this affection.

The world has put a demand on marriages to work and to spend little time together.

And when they are together, arguments occur due to fatigue, stress, frustration, and lack of affection.

Let us start today to take our marriage seriously, and to stop falling for the world’s way of living.

God wants us to walk in such affection toward our spouse. It is what will keep the flame burning.

Pray for our spouse to walk in this affection toward us and that we do the same for them. It takes two.

May our marriages be made stronger, revived and blessed.

Remember that word; affection!
