Today I want to talk to you a little bit about loyalty in marriage.
There's the "obvious" level of loyalty and then there's the "not so obvious" levels.
Everyone understands that part of loyalty in marriage means sexual faithfulness.
But what is NOT so obvious is all the other areas of loyalty that are at least as important.
Standing up for your partner in public.
Standing up for your partner among friends.
Standing up for your partner among other family members.
NOT carrying on covert little "flirtatations" that may seem innocent but definitely aren't.
More important, being sharp or mean with your partner.
There is NEVER any reason to be mean.
It might seem like it's appropriate, but it never is.
Even these are somewhat obvious, because they are outer behaviors.
What's even more important than any of these, though, is what you carry in your heart and mind.
Are you wishing your partner well continuously and with genuineness.
Are you viewing them with a loving heart and mind?
Are you careful not to blame your partner for any area of your unhappiness?
Do you see your partner as the perfect being God created?
Or are you going around finding fault with your partner?
Your renewed marriage - the REAL marriage you were born to have - begins here:
Talk soon,
