Never
Underestimate the Power of Love
She was a successful lady by any standard. I
listened as she said these profound words. "I have loved and I have
been loved. All the rest is background music." Her testimony echoes
the importance of love. Love is not our only emotional need. Among our
basic needs are the need for security, self-worth, and significance. Love,
however, interfaces with all of these.
If I feel loved by my spouse, I can relax, knowing
that my lover will do me no ill. I feel secure in his/her presence. I may
face many uncertainties in my vocation. I may have enemies in other areas
of my life, but with my spouse I feel secure.
My sense of self-worth is fed by the fact that my
spouse loves me. After all, if he/she loves me, I must be worth loving. My
parents may have given me negative or mixed messages about my worth, but
my spouse knows me as an adult and loves me. Love builds my self-esteem.
Never underestimate the power of love. Think about
it. What is more important in your marriage than meeting your spouse’s
need for love.
