eFax of Life from CBMC Heartland
A Weekly Inspirational Thought from Ken Korkow
What She Wants / What He Wants
You've probably heard it before, but I need to say it again. For you. And for me. Because being married isn't easy.
The leading causes* of divorce are:
- Lack of communication
- Sex
- Money problems
- Difference in values and priorities
- Problems with in-laws
- Religious beliefs and convictions
After 34 years of being married, Liz will tell you her greatest desires* are that I would be a godly man that provides:
- Affection/romance
- Communication
- Openness/honesty
- Financial Security
- Family commitment
And (this won't surprise you) my greatest desires* are that she would be a godly woman providing:
- Sex
- Recreational companion
- Attractive spouse
- Domestic support
- Admiration and respect
*From "A Survey On The Desires Of Men And Women," by Gary Smalley
When we understand the potential pitfalls and are keyed-in to the needs of our spouse - marriage/life can still be difficult. But the more I set my heart on obeying the Lord and honoring my bride - am amazed at how much joy we have in the journey.
"Let your manhood be a blessing; rejoice in the wife of your youth. Let her charms and tender embrace satisfy you. Let her love alone fill you with delight." Proverbs 5:18-19
