"Husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies." (Eph. 5:28)
The Day you got married you said & made vows to your spouse. Did your vows include to Love, Honor & CHERISH...?! What does it mean to cherish another person? In terms of materially speaking I ask Husbands: Would you say your Wife is more like a $30 Million Bugatti (yes this car exists!) or a brand-new $10,000 Hyundai? Now, let me rephrase it. Do you treat your wife or does she feel treated like the Bugatti or the Hyundai? Wives does your husband feel he's treated like a $100 Million estate or a $50,000 fixer upper? (They both do exist; I know full well) Would you literally give all you have for your mate? Do they feel you treat them this way? (Matthew 13:46) states "When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!" Is your mate, your marriage not worth as much?!
The way we treat our mates determines their value. How we value them determines the cost of our marriage. How much is your marriage worth? Can your mate honestly say they feel their worth the $$Millions$$ to you... or would they say they feel like their just a "fixer upper" in your eyes?! If they can't say they feel highly valued and treasured by you... something needs to change and it's not them! Our marriages count for eternity! It's time to raise the Value on your marriage!
In the end, Our Faithful Father will be the one to say, "Well done Son/daughter, you treated my Daughter/ son well!" Do you want to have to explain to the Creator of the Universe why you treated HiS child wrong or badly? What will your response be? Will you have to say you were selfish, too tired, lazy, it wasn't worth it, I just gave up!? Will you say "I wasn't treated like a Queen/King so I treated them the same way!"
If your marriage is in need of a tune-up don't neglect doing it! Just as cars & homes take Time, $Money$, attention to detail, expertise and investment of energy. Many of the same things will be required in restoring, revamping, refreshing, rekindling, reconnecting, rebuilding, refurbishing, reigniting, resolving, and Remember when you do you will be reValuing your mate & Marriage to their highest Worth!
The "other" option is Devalue which is what happens if you Deny, Deprive, Desolve, and Destroy your Marriage! This will lead to divorce, which is the Death of your marriage & the aftermath that follows!
I just realized what I had originally planned to go with this blog... is much too long! So, this will be my 1st to be continued... C-U next Monday! *JKEST*
