Your Question:
What seeds of love need nurturing in our daily routines?
Answer:
As a pastor and a husband, I've come to realize that love is a responsibility that should be practiced daily. It's not just a feeling that comes and goes, but a choice that we make every day to love and care for one another. In our daily routines, we need to nurture the seeds of love by being affectionate and tender towards each other. This means finding ways to show our love and appreciation for one another, whether it's through a hug, a kiss, or a kind word. As I reflect on my own marriage to Susan, I've learned that love is not just about romantic feelings, but about the everyday choices we make to love and serve each other. It's about being willing to lay aside our own selfish desires and interests for the sake of our partner. It's about being warm, tender, compassionate, and loving towards one another, even when we're tired, stressed, or feeling uninterested. By making these choices, we can create a safe and loving environment where our relationship can flourish. In our family, I've seen how important it is to model this kind of love for our children. My wife Susan and I strive to be each other's most trusted friend and counselor, and to empower each other in our roles as parents. By doing so, we hope to raise children who understand the value of love and relationships, and who will carry these values with them into their own marriages and families one day.
