Recently, I worked to reduce sin down to a simple understanding for a study I was leading. We know that nearly all things can be used for good in moderation. So here is what I came up with; If that good takes you from where the Lord has placed you, it is no longer good. This is true for the things that cause addiction or interfere with sobriety, so would it not also be true for our love life?
The 5 love languages are a great way to reconsider how you love your spouse. In doing so though, this can go one of two ways:
All of these “languages” can easily become idols. Either for own needs or in a complete imprisonment to the needs of our spouse.
Each love language can be the mechanism in which the Lord stretches you. As you consider what gives your spouse joy, trust that this is The Way that Jesus taught us to live. We may just find that that kind of joy is indeed doubled.
