The Fire of Love

My Phillip and me
Sanibel Lighthouse, 2018

"As the Scriptures say, 'A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one." (Ephesians 5:31-32)

We dated six years and have been married within a stone's throw of forty-one. O how I love that man!

Solomon wrote: "...The fire of love stops at nothing - it sweeps everything before it. Flood waters can't drown love, torrents of rain can't put it out..." (Song of Solomon 8:6-7 The Message)

Paul described marriage as a picture of Christ and His church.

Married, beloved? Stoke the fire of love for your mate. A believer, beloved? Stoke the fire of love for Jesus, your Savior.

"A good marriage is like an incredible retirement fund. You put everything you have into it during your productive life, and over the years it turns from silver to gold to platinum." ~ Willard Scott
