The remaining ‘Rs’  that will sustain both of you.

Romance

Romance is one of the greatest facilitators of a crisis free marriage; but this is where many Charismatics run into problems. When a home lacks romance, it starts suffering disintegration, as it is one of the vital reasons for setting up the home. Many marriage teachers may not agree with this, but this Bible, and I absolutely agree with the Bible which says

''Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 1 Corinthians 7:1-2''

‘’To avoid fornication’’ is one of the reasons for marriage, and romance is God’s tool for preserving marriage. ‘’But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn’’ (Verse 9). Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.’’ The word ‘’have’’ there doesn’t mean just to marry; it also means let him enjoy his own wife.

Look for the Best in Each Other ~ Olajuwon Obalola

I once heard about a husband and wife who were so upset after a big argument that they refused to speak to each other. That night, not wanting to be the first to break the awkward silence, the man left a note on his wife’s side of the bed that read, “wake me up at 6 o’clock in the morning.”

The next morning, by the time the husband woke up, it was already 8 o’clock. Furious, he roared, “Where is she?” and was about to chew out his wife when he found a note on his side of the bed: “It’s six o’clock; wake up.”
