Love Tip #6
I’ve tried to send this blog post out three times now and it keeps getting shut down. Satan must really not want you to hear this. So make sure you read it and live it out today!
Yesterday we looked at “Love’s Miracle Grow” and some tips to grow a lifelong love. This week my love tips will be broken down into tips for men and tips for women. Remember, these things are ways we can show the love of Jesus by choosing to love in these ways regardless of the other person’s performance. This is how Christ loved us, so we can imitate Him in truest form.
Men: Today, be a shadow of protection to your lady and let her lean on and find rest in you.
If she has been struggling with her body image, tell her how beautiful she is. Pick one of her features and just rave about it.
If she is having a tough day, be there emotionally. Tell her you are ready to listen without distractions and you won’t offer her your “fixes” unless she asks.
Protect her spiritually today by spending intentional time praying for her, then tell her you did so. If you want to take it to the next level, identify areas where she is being attacked spiritually today and help her come against them outloud in Jesus’ name. Be her warrior today.
Women: Nothing makes your guy feel like he can conquer the world than you believing in him.
Find a way to encourage him today. Tell him something he is great at doing or something you admire or appreciate about him.
If he has let you or the family down in the past and not protected you emotionally, spiritually, financially, etc., then purpose in your heart to forgive him today.
If he is helping with the kids or around the house, but it is different than the way you would do it, choose not to start an argument today. Release some control, allow him to lead, and remember different isn’t always wrong.
