Are You Unwittingly Breaking Your Marriage Vows?
Hey there, cherished readers!
This issue is brough to you by my private FREE Facebook Group Speaking of Facebook, this post received a lot of attention this week. lol
When we said "I do," we vowed to love, honor, and cherish our partners through thick and thin. But let's unpack this, shall we?
Beyond the grand gestures, how are we upholding these sacred promises in the day-to-day tapestry of married life?
Physical Intimacy: The Pulse of Cherishing To cherish is to protect and care for someone lovingly. If we neglect the kisses, the cuddles, and the fiery passion of our bedrooms, aren't we, in a way, retracting that promise? I think so.
Physical intimacy is our silent language of adoration, a fundamental expression of our vow to cherish. If your partner is loved by physical touch, then you need to increase this category, otherwise, you might be breaking your vows.
Emotional Intimacy: The Essence of Love and Honor Loving isn't just a feeling; it's an action. And to honor? It's to be held in high esteem. If we stop listening, stop sharing, or if our partner is the last to know about our day, we're not just drifting apart, we're drifting from our vows.
Emotional intimacy is about being your partner's confidant, cheerleader, and safe haven.
The Unseen Cracks You might not notice it at first—the missed goodnight kisses, the conversations that become monologues, the laughter that fades. The routine sex is being done to just check it off the list. But these are the cracks that can grow if left unattended.
Mending the Bonds It's not about grand gestures but the consistent, small acts of love. Share a thought, hold a hand, steal a kiss, whisper an appreciation. These are the threads that reinforce the tapestry of marriage.
Take a moment today to reflect: Are you truly honoring, loving, and cherishing your partner? If there's a shortfall, fear not. Love is an ever-turning wheel, and it's never too late to start again.
Stay true, stay passionate,
