Your Question:
How do we nurture the seeds of love in our daily routines?
Answer:
As a pastor and a husband of 19 years, I've learned that nurturing the seeds of love in our daily routines requires a commitment to love as a responsibility, not just a feeling. It's about putting in the effort to create a climate of love, where our partners feel valued, respected, and cherished. This can be as simple as planning walks, sitting together, or just making an effort to arrange special moments. For Susan and me, love is about learning to love each other well, and that starts with loving God. When we prioritize our relationship with God, we're able to love each other more fully. It's not about dimming our love for each other, but about expanding our hearts to respond to our Divine Joy. This means being intentional about expressing love in various ways, such as through verbal affirmations, playful activities, and romantic gestures. As a family, we've learned that love is a skill that needs to be learned and practiced. It's not something that comes naturally, but rather it's a supernatural skill that requires effort and dedication. By prioritizing our relationships with each other and with God, we create a climate where love can flourish. Whether it's through a romantic dinner, a family game night, or just a quiet moment together, we make an effort to nurture the seeds of love in our daily routines.
