"NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO DO IT FOR YOU. Do it yourself👇
In the beautiful journey of marriage, there are certain things that should forever remain sacred—acts of love and intimacy that only you, as a husband or wife, should give to your partner. These are not tasks to be delegated or shared. They are the soul-stitches that hold your union together, the whispers of devotion that only your heart can truly offer.
No one else should know your partner’s love language better than you do. It is your smile that should soothe their bad days. Your arms should be their safest place. Your words should be the ones that lift them, encourage them, and remind them of their worth. Let your voice be the one that whispers "I love you" in the quiet moments and the one that speaks peace during the storms.
It is your duty, and your privilege, to notice the little things: the tired eyes after a long day, the way they like their coffee, the silent battles they fight. These are not for outsiders to handle. They are for you, because you are their chosen one, their home.
Don’t let anyone else feed their soul with praise—be the one who tells them they’re beautiful, strong, needed, and loved. Don’t allow someone else to make them laugh when you haven’t tried first. The connection you share is not to be outsourced or secondhand. Romance may fade if not nurtured by your own hands.
Cook for them not just to fill their stomach, but to say, "I cherish you." Hold their hand not just in public, but when they need silent strength. Pray for them, with them, and over them—because no one else should take your place before God when it comes to their heart.
Protect your spouse’s emotional space. Be their first listener, their favorite storyteller, their most trusted friend. Your presence, your effort, your love—those are your sacred responsibilities. They’re not chores; they’re blessings, divine opportunities to deepen your connection.
Marriage isn’t just a shared name or a shared home. It’s a shared promise to always choose each other. So choose daily. Choose fully. And choose to do the things that only you should ever do—for them, with love.
