During the month of February I want to address some issues that can make or break the covenant of marriage because I believe this union is close to the heart of God and a witness to the world of the mysterious union of Christ and His church according to Ephesians 5:31-32
What has kept us together for over 50 years? What wisdom can we sow from the lessons of our lives into others’ relationships?
It has been said that you can measure the mutual affection of two human beings by the number of words they exchange. After over 50 years of marriage I’ve learned that open deep communication is an essential part of intimacy. Not just surface words to break the silence but meaningful words that come from the unashamed naked depth of your innermost being. That is the only way we see into our spouse’s heart for as Luke 6:45 tells us “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”
