Being Married Is …

Nurturing Your Spouse’s Self-Esteem ….

So that you both feel precious and honored.

We cannot fully love another if we do not love who we are.  God made us each unique in His image.  We often judge ourselves to be inferior or incomplete.  We cannot accept that God has given us all that we need to serve Him.  We often cannot believe that God sees each of us, personally, as precious and honored (Isaiah 43:1-4a).  Loving the person God made us enables us to more fully accept and love others!

As a married couple we need to affirm God’s love of our spouse.  By telling him or her in words and deeds how precious and honored he or she is to God, we are also telling him or her how precious and honored he or she is to us.  That unconditional love that couples have for each other flows from the unconditional love that Jesus has first given to each of us.

Tell Your Spouse He Or She Is Precious And Honored

By God And You!
