Love. . ."it's the REAL THING"


In our segment today, we explore the communication process that allows marriages to work; and of course, that process is call "LOVE". Love is the universal language of marriages!

Love however, is not just a word. It is a recurring action that continually provides the energy if you will, to ensure that your marriage doesn't "conk out". Much like a battery for your automobile.
At times the battery runs low, and need recharging. The exact same thing often happens in our marriages. The action portion of our love sometimes withers and we often think that it's over.
Well, I'm here to tell you that it's not over until God says that it's over! Psalm 85:6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? You see, even in our walk of life or in our relationship with the Lord, we have a tendency to grow weary and in our attempt to maintain our relationship with the Lord, we are sometimes slack. As it is in our marriage relationships, we grow slack.
Nevertheless, the Lord knows that we are human and need help maintaining our vows and commitments, which why He is there to sustain us!
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Now, if in our walk with Him, He has promised to provide the help we need to sustain our relationship with Him, how much more do you think He is going to provide the help we need in our marriages, ( an institution He has ordained).
The true fact is: we don't always know what to do when our marriage relationship seems to falter and grow weak; and many times we misinterpret these signs and react incorrectly. That's where the Word of God comes in to guide us and give us instruction.
The Word of God as the scripture outlines: 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
If you noticed the words correction and instruction, it is in this perspective that God wants us to turn to Him for those directions.
Our action of Love is the most essential part of our marriages; and although we encounter some hills and valleys in the course of our relationships, God through His Holy word has given us some alternatives that we can lay hold on to reinforce or even re-build our marriages; and it's all done through our acts of Love! Just remember God's definition and attribute as He defines Love:

1 Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. (
Charity being interpreted as Love!)

Here's the message: the universal language of marriage can only be Love. It is marriages' beginning, it's operation, it's own repair, it's own healing, and it's rejuvenation. Real Love never has to be announced. It is clearly seen by it's action.
Use today in your marriage this universal tool of Love which is given to us by God. It is the "real thing".
. . . .and once again. . . . You are Blessed!
