It's essential to express admiration and appreciation for our spouse. Sometimes, we need to remember the significance of affirming our loved ones amidst the hustle of life. Therefore, we must make it a daily practice to verbalize our love for our significant other. This principle of love is familiar, as we used it during the dating phase to draw closer to our partner. Let's be reminded of the words of our Lord in Jeremiah 31:3, "Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee."Remember to subscribe to our channel.
