I bought this print early in my marriage. I loved the romance of the couple dancing on the beach and it reminded me of how much I enjoyed being in my husbands arms.
Ten years later...
I am sitting in my living room saying a prayer. It went something like: "God, what do we have to do to communicate better?" At that moment the Lord revealed the answer in a picture I had looked at thousands of times.
“If you want your marriage to look like the couple dancing, you have to be the servants.”
I’ve never seen that picture or my marriage the same way again. In seasons when my marriage needs a little extra prayer, I try to remember that my role as my husbands partner in this thing called life is to make sure he is taken care of. And yes, my husband is called to do the same for me...and when we are both serving one another with all of our hearts, the dance, the picture perfect dance begins.
I hope you never stop serving and dancing with the love of YOUR life!
Ephesians 5:22
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord
Ephesians 5:28-29
In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.
