Dear Husbands...

An ordinary Tuesday might seem like a strange day to think of something special to do for your wife. But this ordinary day really is the perfect day because you’re not supposed to do anything today. And that simple fact alone will capture your wife’s heart.

I know women sometimes seem complicated and overly sensitive at times. But really we’re not. We just want to be thought of in a way that makes us feel special.

One kind act by you can cover a multitude of everyday stresses.

I’m serious.

Just for couples

Or maybe it's "MARRIAGE & LOVE"... sometimes we get married then realize the person we married is NOT the person we fell in love with! When dating, you get to know the person you want. The other person shows you exactly what you need in him or her. It's easy to do because you don't wake up & go to bed with this person everyday. You don't see all the bad qualities & let's be honest; we all have some bad qualities, even if only one! Or perhaps, you see only the best in that person because it's what you want to see. But when you take that leap of faith & commit to spending the rest of your life with someone, you find out who they really are.

If you are getting married, here's a prayer for your wedding! Allow God to be the maestro of your orchestra & watch how well your symphony becomes! If you're already married but feel as though things are going south after only a short time - or maybe even after years, take this quiz to see how you can allow God in so He can be the Mediator you need to save or enhance the love you share!

But the greatest of these is love

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
