This son saw the importance of having parents that kissed in plain view of others. Oh how we wish more married couples would see that importance! This brought to mind something that happened when we were babysitting our niece's kids while their mommy was in the hospital delivering their baby brother. Steve and I were in the kitchen preparing lunch when he pulled me closer and gave me a big kiss. Just then my 4-year old niece came in and smiled. Steve remarked to her, "I do that because I love your Aunt Cindy." She gave the cutest little giggle.
That brought the fond memory to mind of our son David, when he was a little guy, and how he used to hug Steve and I together when he'd see us hugging each other. He seemed so happy to see his parents showing love to each other.
We hope you will be intentional in making it your "job" to demonstrate love —particularly the love of Christ in every healthy way you can as a married couple. Do it for the benefit of your marriage, the benefit of your family, and the benefit of others that God brings your way.
Thank you for being used by God to continue to bless me and my family. I am currently facing a hard time with my mother in law. But I trust God to bring peace for the sake of my marriage. God bless you for the work you do across the world.
This is very helpful. But how do you get your spouse to see the importance of the 'job'?
