Your Question:

What seeds of love need nurturing in our daily routines?

Answer:

As I reflect on my own marriage and family, I'm reminded of the importance of nurturing seeds of love in our daily routines. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and we've learned that it's the small, intentional acts of love that can have a profound impact on our relationship. Whether it's a surprise breakfast in bed or a thoughtful note left on the fridge, these gestures can help reignite feelings of joyous affection and strong passion.

As a pastor, I've seen many couples struggle to maintain a healthy, loving relationship. Often, it's because they've lost sight of the importance of affectionate touch and tender moments. In our busy lives, it's easy to get caught up in our own pursuits and forget to prioritize our relationships. But Scripture reminds us that love is a responsibility, not just a feeling. By making a conscious effort to demonstrate our love and care for one another, we can create a culture of love and affection in our homes.

In our household, my wife and I make a point to have regular date nights, just the two of us. We also try to have family game nights and activities that bring us together. These moments of connection help us to feel seen, heard, and loved. As a parent, I've also learned the importance of showing physical affection to my children, Joshua and Rebecca. A hug or a high-five can go a long way in nurturing their sense of self-worth and security. By prioritizing love and affection in our daily routines, we can create a foundation of love that will last a lifetime.
