Your Question:
What's the language of love when words fail?
Answer:
The language of love when words fail is not just about grand gestures or romantic phrases. It's about the small, everyday expressions of affection that speak directly to a person's heart. For my wife Susan, it's not just about the words I say, but the way I look at her, the way I touch her, and the way I make her feel loved and valued. As I've learned from our marriage, love languages are not just about how we express love, but also how we receive it. If I'm speaking a language that Susan doesn't understand, she may not feel loved, even if I'm saying all the right words. It's about finding the language that speaks to her heart and using it to express my love and affection. And it's not just about romantic love, but also about the everyday expressions of love that make a marriage strong. In the Bible, we see that love is not just about grand gestures, but about the small, everyday expressions of love that come from a place of humility and service. When we love without expecting anything in return, we show the world what it means to truly love. And when we speak in a language that our spouse can understand, we bring the remaking and healing power of love into their life. That's what I've learned from my marriage, and that's what I try to apply in my own life as a pastor and as a husband.
