Do you anticipate your spouse’s needs (wants)? I must admit that I do, but I wasn't all the time. You know, I do for my children, and I do go beyond at my job. As I thought about this, why don't I do this consistently for the main person that I vowed to love forever? After all I was created for him (Gen 2:21) his happiness will be mine. I can still hear Bunny Wilson say, that you have to get off the self track and get on the servant track and score points for GOD, as she spoke at our women's conference. As you see many of my post have been geared in the direction of concentrating on my spouse, and that's because I've made him a priority. I want to please GOD, and also have heaven on earth with my spouse. What are your thoughts? Please comment..
It is a very selfless act to make it your priority to pursue the needs of your spouse. It is my intention to do this often but sometimes the "selfish flesh" will rise up. However, I have learned that the more you focus on the needs of your spouse or "consider your spouse over yourself" (Philipians 2: 1-4), the happier you are. Great topic!
