I just read "The Five Love Languages". It was a great book by Gary Chapman. Real easy reading, concise and to the point. He has been a marriage counselor for over 30 years. He shares stories and situations of several different couples about that language they speak and the language they expect to hear in return. It was very simple but profound truth. If I am person who needs my husband to spend quality time with me, he can bring me gifts everyday, but it will not to the emotion that I need to be touched. And it leaves me sadden and unfulfilled. If my husband needs to be touched, I can say positive words all day everyday to him, but if that is not the emotion that he needs to be stroked it is not going to matter. In it's simplest form it is knowing what makes your mate happy and doing it. And it has a few exercises you and your mate can try at the end of the book.
20:15 And he said, "Hearken, all Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, and King Jehosh'aphat: Thus says the LORD to you, 'Fear not, and be not dismayed at this great multitude; for the battle is not yours but God's. 20:16 Tomorrow go down against them; behold, they will come up by the ascent of Ziz; you will find them at the end of the valley, east of the wilderness of Jeru'el. 20:17 You will not need to fight in this battle; take your position, stand still, and see the victory of the LORD on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.' Fear not, and be not dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, and the LORD will be with you." |
