the atmosphere can become colder
than a Dairy Queen blizzard. We get out
of sync, disconnected, and that leaves
room for coolness and selfishness to
grow.
Unconditional love occurs only in the
context of communication and true
connection. Think about your own
relationship with God. When do you
feel most secure, protected, loved,
understood? It’s when you’ve had a rich
time of prayer, when God has spoken
to you personally through his Word,
and when you’ve reached the heart of
the Father in worship. And when this
connection happens every day, not only
do you feel secure as a Christian, but
you also develop a mature relationship
with God, where everything is possible.
That’s the way marriage is designed to
work
5. Study Your Husband
One of the best ways for you to know
how to meet your husband’s need for
unconditional love and acceptance is
to know your husband. This means
you must become a student, getting to
know your husband inside and out.
As a man, I can’t figure out sometimes
how Barb knows things, but she just
knows. The kids may be hurting, hiding
something, having problems with a
friend, or isolating themselves a little
because of some insecurity or conflict.
And Barb just knows.
Our household isn’t unique in this.
You need to use that same womanly
sensitivity to pick up on what’s going
on with your husband—which means
not only reading his moves but also
his moods.
