Do you know what is love? No husband or wife should have to ask this question.
You would not have gotten married, if you did not love your husband or wife. Oh Yea! If that's the case why are we having so many divorce cases? Why are many of us complaining of neglect? Why is there physical and emotional abuse in the marriage?
Next time you say "I love you", think of what you are saying because love is an important ingredient for the making of a lasting relationship in marriage. But what is love?
Love is a strong positive emotion of regard and affection. The word 'regard' means 'attention' or 'concern'. Therefore, when you tell your partner that you love him or her, you are actually saying that you will give the attention and show that high level of concern, which should not be cursory thing.
'Affection' refers to that tender attachment or fondness, which engenders an emotional feeling whenever you think of, hear or see the person. So in essence when you say, "I love you" you are actually committing yourself to be ever vigilant, that is, keeping a steadfast watch of the person's welfare and be unyielding in your tender loving care. Your feeling of attention, consideration and positive emotions should be of such that your partner receives positive vibes emanating from you to create a spiritual bond - one flesh!
Love is not a strong sexual desire. In marriage, sex should be based on love and must not be an inordinate craving for intercourse, but a vaginal embrace of the male organ that emphasizes a pure union of husband and wife, in which two are made one. In marriage, love knows no lust. The sexual feeling of the married couple is simple ineffable, a feeling that does not dissolve but gets stronger each time husband and wife engage a romantic experience. Real love does not subside or die. It is a fresh as the morning breeze.
Try to reach this height in your marriage.
