Day 11

Love Cherishes

 Husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. – Ephesians 5:28

 

Today’s Dare

 What need does your spouse have that could meet today?  Can you run an errand?  Give a back rub or foot massage?  Is there housework you could help with?  Choose a gesture that says, “I cherish you” and do it with a smile.

 

Answering him, Jesus said, “What do you want Me to do for you?”  (Mark 10:51)

I wanted to include the definition of cherish from Merriam-Webster.com. Notice as they define cherish  in letter b: <cherishes his marriage>, which satys to “keep or cultivate with care and affection.” What a perfect example of how to cherish  the marriage covenant, and how beautifully fitting for today’s love dare!
