| Thursday, February 24 Rekindling Love Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.
1 Corinthians 7:3 Psychologists tell us that many couples are so "in love" when they get married that they don't realize that the flush of emotions will die down like the flames in a fireplace, and that constant work is required to keep the blaze going. Some couples forget to tend the flames of romance. They get busy, distracted, and negligent of each other. The pressures of life fall over the fire like a wet blanket. Before you know it, all that's left are dying embers. But dying embers when urgently and properly tended to can be rekindled into a blaze that yields both heat and light. Stop taking your spouse for granted. Make time for romance. Start "dating" again. Start holding hands again. Kiss in the kitchen. Hug. Affirm. Take time to talk over dinner. Plan a Weekend getaway without the kids. Go, show your love to your wife again, or to your husband or children, or to the Lord. It often doesn't take much to rekindle the fire if the burning embers are still there. Affection is the cement of a relationship.
