30
Seconds in the elevator
Do
you remember the fresh days of your relationship when it was difficult to keep
your hands of each other? Oh you never had those, whops sorry. I remember the
days and I smile at the thoughts. 30 seconds in an elevator and amazing things
would happen and I would pray that it would get stuck between floors. Isn’t
amazing that we loose the fun side of our marriages and now you can drive all
the way to work and back and not chat or accidentally miss the gear stick while
driving?
Pastor
how can you say such things? Well inside most people we chat with about
marriage there is a desire for more fun and enjoyment and adventure. Many
marriages become frustrated because of routine and ritual. I encourage you to
become adventurous again, this will certain make your marriage something to
smile about. The next time you are alone in an elevator accidentally press the
top floor and pray that no one stops you half way and as soon as the doors
close give her or him the biggest wettest kiss that would make Hollywood
envious. Well Pastor what is there are cameras? Well what about them there were
cameras at your wedding, what if someone stops us well just smile and wave and
say hope you are not going all the way to the top.
The
bottom line is your marriage need to be fresh and exciting so fuel it with
moments that keep the excitement high. I know that some of you are introverts
and you are on the serious side of life, well I’m glad I am not married to you
I hope your spouse does not feel the same way. Do whatever you think is spicy
for your marriage like sending your spouse the families balance sheet.
Have
you ever gotten home and there is a message by the door that causes you to want
to go and buy some breath mints because you know what’s on the other side. Well
we have had to stop this because we have lived with so many people we did not
want to shock the kids. But let your bedroom be a place of adventure and fun. The
bible says the bed undefiled is honorable to God. He is pleased when we have
fun in our relationship and I encourage you to plan some special moments
together. You may not notice the lack thereof in the short term but in the long
run you will realize that something is missing.
What
thirty-second thing can you do today that will cause your spouse to smile and
remember the butterflies they felt when you were walking down the aisle and
everybody knew what you will be doing tonight.
The
other day our son whose four was walking out our room and a second later he
opened the door again and looked at us and pointed a finger and said “guys don’t
kiss ok…” then he walked out, sure enough he knew what was going to happen so
he opened the door again and said “ughhh sis” and went away smiling. Is your
marriage ministering to someone is it causing you to smile? Are you enduring
hardness like a good soldier? Well it can change
Marriage
is a gift from God enjoy it
Hey
stay married and loving it
