1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. - Romans 7:1-4.

There is a term that can and should get fixed in every believer called 'believer wife.' You know what scripture calls a wife? She is the other part of the relationship, relationship has two parts. This relationship, born again relationship that came about by you believing on the Lord Jesus Christ has two parts. We, you and I are only one part of that relationship. If your relationship stays one sided it is an unequal lopsided relationship. That is why husband's and wive's should have a feeling for each other. The needs and wants and what do you like to do. I may not like to do what you like to do but we can do that because I have a feeling for what you like and it is a help mate in a long term relationship. That's how people get along by having some kind of feeling for each other and seeing Christ in each other, (your expression of Christ as you, your creation) but that is seeing Christ in each other. Appreciating the unique individual, and everyone has that. If one person in the relationship has not learned how to have some kind of feeling in a relationship then the other may have to go the extra mile.

Now if you look to me or I look to you to make me feel happy or complete or what not then that is not exactly what I'm talking about. That is as unhealthy as not having any kind of feeling for what others may need. They have all kind of fancy little names for the scientific studies of relationship but there just words too. Men (human beings in general) always over rate themselves and label it, it gets humorous and I try not to make fun of it but sometimes I just can't help it, it's funny.

Some of the best advise I ever got concerning relationship was in council we were asked , "do you love her, do you love him" of coarse we said yes. Answer was "ok get along" haha oh boy that is not an answer that you want or maybe it is but I knew it was right and it didn't cost me anything accept my life of coarse. And I think what sealed the deal as far as knowing it was right was because of where the advise came from, a loving person whom we trusted and knew that they knew something and didn't have to have a big long drug out answer.

If you get hungry enough for truth: spiritual mental physical or financial truth the Lord will provide it.
