Topic: One Heart of Love [Monday June 1, 2015]
“…Be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.” –Philippians 2:2
When it comes to marriage and how things are run in a home, individuals have different viewpoints and opinions. Some of these opinions may be self-centred, while only a few are based on the Word of God. One of these self-centred and manmade viewpoints is that the duty of sustaining love in the home is the duty of only one person (at a time), and that love between two people cannot be equal.
The above Scripture says though, “having the same love… One mind.” This brings to play that love between couples is supposed to be equal, as making the marriage work is the responsibility of both parties. When both the husband and the wife have one mind concerning their marriage, it’s much easier for them to work together.
The reason why people go through challenges in their homes is that they are not of like minds. While one is giving it all it takes to make the marriage work, the other receives the love without giving it back. Marriage is a fusion of two people. It entails you loving your partner the way you want to be loved. However, it takes the two minds thinking in the same direction, to achieve that.
You both have to have equal measures of love for each other, and it must be given space to grow. Don’t give in to a bent relationship, stabilise your marriage as you equalise your love for each other.
Remain Blessed!
