Tag: Bible verses about love in a marriage

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.

It’s so important to be affectionate with your spouse.

So many things can get in the way and cause us to neglect this area of our marriage if we’re not careful. But the consequences of neglecting this can be huge if we don’t get it under control.

As a couple, we need to make sure we are communicating when we need each other. Don’t put it off or wait for them to “KNOW” what we need.

Ask them to make time for us. Tell them exactly how we feel and what we need, when we need it.

If we wait or put it off, maybe because we think we are being silly or a bother to them, our spouse will never know. And this can cause us to grow angry and bitter towards them.

It can be very damaging.

Couples, keep your relationship strong and intimate no matter what you may be going through right now.

We will have busy seasons in our marriage. Those are the times we need each other the most. We need to stop our spouse in their tracks, sit them down and be affectionate with one another.

This does not rest just on the shoulders of one of you. It’s for both to work at.

It’s crucial that we pay attention to our spouse, or we can cause our own marital issues down the road. These are often issues that can destroy a love that was once very strong and intimate.

It’s never too late. You don’t get out of it that easy.

Instead of running away from each other and ending the marriage, run to each other and do your spousal duty by being affectionate!

That will close the gap on anything that may try to creep in and destroy your marriage.
