Your Question:
What's the secret to a family's strength when love is put to the test in a world of hurt?
Answer:
As a pastor and a husband, I've learned that the secret to a family's strength when love is put to the test in a world of hurt is rooted in a deep understanding of love's complexity. It's not just about being gentle and tender, but also about being willing to take risks, make sacrifices, and hold each other accountable. Love is not about enabling, but about helping each other grow and become the best versions of ourselves. In my own marriage, I've come to realize that love is not just a feeling, but a choice. When Susan and I are going through tough times, I make a conscious effort to prioritize our relationship and show her love in practical ways. Whether it's helping with household chores or simply being present and listening to her, I strive to demonstrate my love and commitment to her. This, in turn, helps to create a safe and nurturing environment for our children to grow and thrive. As a parent, I've learned that love takes many forms, and it's essential to be intentional about showing love to each member of our family in ways that are meaningful to them. For my children, Joshua and Rebecca, that might mean being physically present and available, having meaningful conversations, and showing interest in their lives. By doing so, I'm helping to create a sense of security and belonging, which is essential for their emotional and spiritual well-being.
