So, what is it that first caused
you to fall in love with your Love? Was it their looks or their appearance? The
way they talked or carried themselves… or perhaps, their laugh or personality? Whatever it
was, is that trait gone now?
When I was young, I was told many times, by
married women that I looked up to, to make a list of all of the traits that I
expected my future husband to have. Eventually, I made my list and prayed about
it, many times. My husband has every single trait I wrote on that list. Every
single one. God is so good.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, no matter how
long you’ve been married, if you look closely, you’ll see that your Love has
still got it. Most of the traits that cause us to fall in love are so rooted into their very being, it's not something that they'll stop doing or stop being. I don’t believe that people can just “fall out of love.” If you
were ever truly in love, it never goes away. It may take some digging, a lot of
talking to each other, maybe some crying and maybe some counseling… but it’s
still there. Don’t give up on love. I know that’s cliché, but it’s good advice!
I encourage you all to remember, daily, what made you want to say “I do” in the
first place. I also encourage every ‘single’ person reading this to make a
list! Write down every single trait you expect to see in your future spouse,
and be specific. Don’t forget to pray and talk to God about it. You won’t
regret it!
Tell your Love that you love
them, everyday! Don't assume that they already know you love them.
Let me know of any questions or other topics that you’d like
you read about. :)
