Marriage

I like how when man (male and female) was created, God called them Adam (Mankind).

And then I love how Adam had the joy or authority in naming what God had created, including his helper comparable to him, and he named her Eve.

I also like how Eve was formed out of the rib of Adam, and I have always said to myself how a rib protects the heart. And from my perspective my respect would protect his heart and in a way, his ability to breathe.

So I see them protecting and loving each other the way God designed marriage to be.

A picture I would present to people I spoke to is that I would cup my hands together, palms facing one over each other (fingers to wrist) and say when respect and love come together they cup together beautifully with room in the middle.

So the picture below kind of shows that perspective. Her motivating factor is love and his respect, and that is not to rule out the opposite for each other but it is what leads.

For her, love will lead but it includes respect, and for him, respect leads, but it also includes love.

If he feels respect you are loving him and if she feels love, you are respecting her.

Lol, this is coming from someone who has never been married but it is just what God has shown me.

So, I pray for divine love and care to be in your marriages today and always. Draw from His presence as you give to each other. Be kind be gentle, be love!

For those who have loved and yet lost, I'm sorry, no condemnation.❤
