LOVE(between a Man and a Woman).
1. Have a common faith and value system for determining that faith: this is of utmost importance. Problems often arise in marriages due to differences in faith, religious beliefs and value systems.
2. Is he\she an angry person? Can he\she handle the anger with self-restraint or does it keep flying off the handle at the slightest provocation? Does he\she strike at the nearest object/person when annoyed?
3. Can he\she carry out an intelligent conversation with you on topics outside of you both? Does he\she challenge your thinking? Does he\she respect your opinions especially when they differ from theirs?
4. Can he\she handle your weirdness? Does he\she understand and can handle your moods, idiosyncrasies et al?
5. Does he\she laugh at your jokes? Can he\she laugh at the silly things you do and sometimes say? Does he\she laugh with you? Can you tease each other?
6. Does he\she have interests outside of you? Interest in good books, culture, art, some sport (not a fanatic hopefully), hobbies?
7. How does he\she treat women\men? Watch how his\her father treated his\her mother. A man will almost always treat his wife the way his father treated his mother and vice versa.
8. Is he\she a patient person? Is he\she a good listener (not just a polite or uninterested listener?)
9. Is he\she gentle? Gentleness is attractive and especially necessary when the children start arriving
10. Is he\she a virtuous person? Kind, Generous, Courteous, Meek, prudent, humble and above all God-fearing?
FOR THIS REASON, A MAN WILL LEAVE HIS PARENTS AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE AND BOTH WILL BECOME ONE FLESH. Ephesians 5:22-33.
This is our February tract. It is meant for people on the go. As we celebrate love, we particularly reach out to those in a loving relationship between husbands and wives and those to be. Remember, God is love, if you do not know God, you do not know love. Enjoy!!!
