MARRIAGE

  

 

Dr. Gary Chapman

Accepting Responsibility for Love Choices

Meeting my wife's emotional need for love is a choice I make every day. If I know her primary love language and choose to speak it, her deepest emotional need will be met and she will feel secure in my love. If she does the same for me, my emotional needs are met and both of us live with a full "love tank".

In this state of emotional contentment, both of us can give our creative energies to many wholesome projects outside the marriage while we continue to keep our marriage exciting and growing.

How do you create this kind of marriage? It all begins with the choice to love. I recognize that as a husband God has given me the responsibility of meeting my wife's need for love. I choose to accept that responsibility. Then I learn how to speak her primary love language and I choose to speak it regularly. What happens? My wife's attitude and feelings toward me become positive. Now she reciprocates and my need for love is also met. Love is a choice.
