"The Secret of Family Happiness"As in the title
Wonderful verse. And, here is a description of how to love your wife/spouse:Put your spouse's wants and needs above your own. After 53 years with the same person I know what I'm talking about!
Ephesians 5:25, "Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her"
And as the survivor of a 44 year marriage, I couldn't agree with you more. I might add one other detail... Don't try to change your wife's personality or character to match your own. That's God's job. He does not need the water boy to run interference for Him.Put your spouse's wants and needs above your own. After 53 years with the same person I know what I'm talking about!

@TahitiRun Great passage there...Wonderful verse. And, here is a description of how to love your wife/spouse:
1Co 13:4 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;
1Co 13:5 it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
1Co 13:6 it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.
1Co 13:7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1Co 13:8 Love never ends;
Are you aware that those verses are the most accurate description in scripture of the love of God?Wonderful verse. And, here is a description of how to love your wife/spouse:

@Cassandra Sounds about right.Even if you can't afford to buy flowers, it's the little things little things--helping around the house, going for walks, cooking an occasional meal together, just showing appreciation.
Of course. It's a description of how God has loved all/us in Christ. It's wonderful too.Are you aware that those verses are the most accurate description in scripture of the love of God?
Or in my wife's case, .38 Special ammunition is special. It's really hard to find these days.@Cassandra Sounds about right.
I do think that for a woman, gifts of flowers, earrings and chocolates can always been special...
