A Church Wedding

Hi,

Over the weekend, I attended a church wedding with my wife and the pastor gave a pretty interesting sermon or talk on marriage.

Here are some lessons I learned from it.

From his counselling experience, he said that Husbands like to be Respected and Wives like to be Loved.

If the spouses can do this reasonably well, their marriage will definitely last long.

So think about it!

Also, he shared with us what he thinks could be the 5 languages of love and we have to find out which ones is your spouse's languages.

1. Be of service to your spouse; eg take out the rubbish, wash the dishes.

2. Be encouraging to your spouse; eg praise her cooking.

3. Give your spouse quality time; eg go out to together once a week like dinner with a walk by the beach or a movie, talk and listen to each other.

4. Be physical with each other; eg hug, embrace or even just a pat to show you care.

5. Buy your spouse a gift and not only on special occasion.


Your spouse may be touched by either one or many of the above, so observe and show your love accordingly.



I think the key word is communication as all of them involves interacting or doing something for your spouse.

Well, find the time to ponder over it and act on it NOW!

Take care!
