DAY
17: Love Seeks to Understand
How blessed is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding.
—Proverbs 3:13
—Proverbs 3:13
How much do you know about your mate? When a man is trying to win the heart of a woman, he studies her. her learns her likes, dislikes, habits, and hobbies. But after he wins her heart and marries her, he often stops learning about her. The mystery and challenge of knowing her seems less intriguing, and he finds his interests drifting to other areas.
This is also true in many cases for women, who starts off admiring and building respect for the man they desire to be with. But after marriage, those feelings begin to fade as reality reveals that her "prince" is a flawed and imperfect man.
Yet there are still hidden things to discover about your spouse. And this understanding will help draw you closer together. It can even give you favor in the eyes of your mate. "Good understanding produces favor" (Proverbs 13:15)
Some of the problems you have in relating to your spouse are simply because you don't understand them. They probably react very differently to certain situations than you do, and you can't figure out why.
If you miss the level of intimacy you once shared with your spouse, one of the best ways to unlock their heart again is by making a commitment to know them. Study them. Read them like a book you're trying to understand.
Ask questions. Listen. Ask God for discernment.(Proverbs 24: 3-4)
Make him or her your chosen field of study, and you will fill your home with the kind of riches only love can provide.
