INSIGHT

Love Starts With Knowing Christ

  • You cannot love your wife as Christ does without first knowing Christ's love through faith and union with him.
  • Joby Martin ties loving well to spiritual identity: love flows because God first loved us, not from mere effort.
ADVICE

Practice Daily Sacrifice

  • Sacrifice for your wife daily by putting her needs above your own instead of only heroic acts.
  • Practice small daily self-denials that reflect Christ's laying down his life for the church.
ADVICE

Initiate Love First

  • Initiate love even when your spouse hasn't changed; don't wait for her to 'get her act together.'
  • Begin reconciliation and affection first, modeling how Christ loved while we were sinners.
