Day 23: Love Always Protects
REMOVE ANYTHING THAT IS HINDERING YOUR RELATIONSHIP, ANY ADDICTION OR INFLUENCE THAT'S STEALING YOUR AFFECTIONS AND TURNING YOUR HEART AWAY FROM YOUR SPOUSE.
"Lunch - why not? It's business related; my spouse will just have to understand." So - it began. Or how about, "I love these romance novels - they help me escape from my boring marriage." Or maybe, "It's just one click - I won't look again." And, so it began. It all begins somewhere - the affair, the addiction, the cranky attitude, the stolen heart. Parasites.
Parasites - they come in various disguises. At first, a parasite seems innocent enough, harmless, no big deal - until it sucks the life right out of a marriage. How do we deal with it? Destroy it - immediately. If you've seen the "Fireproof" movie, you've seen how the husband dealt with his pornography problem - smashed that computer to pieces. That's radical determination to destroy the parasite. That's exactly what it takes - conviction, courage, willpower - to succeed.
VERSE FOR TODAY'S DARE: "Love always protects" (1 Corinthians 13:7).
THOUGHT FOR TODAY'S DARE: Resolve to protect your marriage - be radical if you must - it'll be worth it. Do your part - begin right now.
Blessings for a "parasite-free" day,
Dale and Susan Crook
