Day 15 - Love is Honorable

Last night we ditched our routine (of WORK!) and had a little date at the gelato place in Mustang. Yum. It was a good thing for us.


Love your wives in an understanding way...and show her honor as a fellow heir to the grace of life. ~1 Peter 3:7

To honor someone means to give them respect and high esteem, to treat them as being special and of great worth. When you speak to them, you keep your language clean and understandable. You are courteous and polite. When they speak to you, you take them seriously, giving their words weight and significance. When they ask you to do something, you accommodate them if at all possible, simply out of respect for who they are.

Would your mate say you honor and respect them? Do you consider them set apart and highly valued?

Love honors even when it's rejected. Love treats its beloved as special and sacred even when an ungrateful attitude is all you get in return.

Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept pure. ~Hebrews 13:4

TODAY'S DARE

CHOOSE A WAY TO SHOW HONOR AND RESPECT TO YOUR SPOUSE THAT IS ABOVE YOUR NORMAL ROUTINE. IT MAY BE HOLDING THE DOOR FOR HER. IT MIGHT BE PUTTING HIS CLOTHES AWAY FOR HIM. IT MAY BE THE WAY YOU LISTEN AND SPEAK IN YOUR COMMUNICATION. SHOW YOUR MATE THAT HE OR SHE IS HIGHLY ESTEEMED IN YOUR EYES.

I will also honor them and they will not be insignificant. ~Jeremiah 30:19
