I'd like to come to you with another message about loving our spouse. We could show our spouse how important they are by an investment of our time. In the story of Jacob it's kind of funny, you know. He wanted to marry Rachel and his father-in-law said well, you'll have to work seven years to get her. And he did. And he said it didn't even seem like a week, it was just so quick. He just was so much in love that time didn't matter to him. I don't think I could have been like that, don't think I could have done it, but he did. Then, once he got married, he found out he'd married Leah, the wrong woman, and he had to work another seven years, but it was worth it to him. He loved her so much that time flew by.
W. Austin Gardner:Does your family feel like that they get a priority of your time? Is it possible you need to rearrange your schedule and spend a little bit more time with your family? Maybe you ought to drop some commitments. Maybe you ought to change a little bit about your lifestyle. Maybe you should take inventory and decide what's really important in your life. We have got to work at spending time with those that we love. We have just got to work at it. It's a part of what we do.
W. Austin Gardner:So you want to develop some rituals, you know, like eating together, holding hands every chance you get, kissing after you pray for a meal, kiss when you come, kiss when you go. Have dates with your children, have dates with your spouse. Say things like how much you love each other, hug and touch, be expressive, look for ways to say I love you and you're important to me. Write some love notes, leave some notes stuck on the wall around the kitchen or around the bedroom, around the vanity mirror wherever she's working, bedroom, around the vanity mirror wherever she's working. But you know to do that.
W. Austin Gardner:You want to spend time with God first and be a man of God so that she will know that you love Jesus. And loving Jesus will give her security because she knows if you love Jesus, he'll tell you to love her and to treat her right. I'm so honored that I get a chance to speak to you, but what I want to challenge you to do is invest time in your spouse. We wanted to spend a lot of time together. Remember when we got married. That's what we wanted to do. Now that we're married, we kind of act like we don't want to spend time together. We need to change that and go back to spending time with each other and showing each other how much we love each other. Thank you for taking the time to listen.
