Ola Afolabi June 28, 2020 Spice up Your Marriage with Love Recipes It is important that you work at keeping romance alive in your marriage so that your marriage can get more exciting as the years go by. Love recipes are what you do or say that will meet your spouse’s innermost needs. A blend of these is essential for your marriage to continue to grow and it will bring out the best in you. However, for you love recipes to work, you must keep God at the centre of your marriage and include prayers as one of your ingredients. This will empower you to focus on how your spouse wants to be loved, rather than what you think is right. So, go ahead and have meaningful conversation with your spouse so that both of you can discover the best ways to express love to each other, and this will make a difference in your marriage. Find out in turn what you can both expect from each other, making sure that your expectations are realistic. Write down the top 5 and arrange them in order of importance. These are the love recipes that you both need to blend on a consistent basis to spice up your marriage. Then, you will be doing the most important things for each other and the aromas of the spices will fill your home. You will be translated to the level of intimacy that will give your marriage the emotional stability that you desired. The love recipes that your spouse appreciate will most likely be different to yours. Your spouse might prefer that you spend more time at home at the weekends or expect some words of encouragement from you after a long day at work. If you focus on other things at that time, your spouse might feel unloved. This is because you have used a combination of recipes which is not appealing to your spouse. You must protect your garden of love by using your differences to your advantage. Also, you have to be ready to make the first move. So, be proactive and go out of your way to find out the kind of love recipes that will appeal to your spouse. You can do this by learning more about your spouse’s interests, thoughts and goals; because therein lies the clue to the love recipes that you will need to blend for your marriage to move to a new level. Marriage is partnership; so, choose to do things together, side by side. The more you learn about your spouse, the more you will stay in love. You will understand your spouse and you will be understood in turn. Support your spouse’s interest rather than being critical and demanding; your spouse will find you romantic and this will foster intimacy and closeness in your marriage. If your spouse got married to you because of your kind words, then you must include this love recipe in your love bowl and compliment your spouse the more. Use words that builds up so that your spouse can feel more desirable around you. Just as the Bible says in Songs of Songs Chapter 1:15-16: Look at you, my dearest darling, you are so lovely! You are beauty itself to me. Your passionate eyes are like gentle doves. And the lover replied:  My beloved one, both handsome and winsome, you are pleasing beyond words. Our resting place is anointed and flourishing, like a green forest meadow bathed in light. So, why can’t you pick one of your spouse’s love recipes and blend it with pomegranates of passion, and every other lovely spice; and trust me, a taste of this will bring that honeymoon phase back into your marriage and your vineyard of love will start to bloom. And that is why I will liken building a good marriage to two people growing a healthy garden. You cannot expect love to look after itself. However, if you look after your garden of love, it will continue to grow because it is well nourished and according to Song of Songs Chapter 4 verse 16; you can confidently proclaim: Stir up the sweet spice of your life within me. Spare nothing as you make me your fruitful garden. Hold nothing back until I release your fragrance. Come walk with me as you walked with Adam in your paradise garden. Come taste the fruits of your life in me. And your lover can boldly reply: I have come to you, my darling bride, for you are my paradise garden! Come walk with me until I am fully yours. Come taste the fruits of your life in me.’ Leave Your Comment Cancel Reply Logged in as Ola Afolabi. Log out? Δ This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.
