Honor The One Who Wears Your Ring!

Honor The One Who Wears Your Ring


I am copying a portion of the article from "HomeLife" magazine, the July 2006 issue. The article is an interview with Max Lucado, and his wife, Denalyn. It is an awesome portion of the article...

"Looking toward their silver wedding anniversary, Max and Denalyn reflect on how husbands and wives can keep their marriages vibrant.

Denalyn answers confidently. "The biggest thing that's going to keep a marriage together is prayer and keeping our eyes on the Lord. My relationship with the Lord is vital, and Max's relationship with the Lord is vital. If I'm out of my time with the Lord for too long, then what I see, touch, feel, and hear become my realities. I start losing touch with what's important, and that's an invisible God who is very present and very real and very alive. He's the one who sees us anyway. Max can't see my soul, and it's not fair for me to expect him to... The Lord does that, and Max and I can love each other in a pure way if we're receiving from the Lord what only the Lord can give."

Max agrees with his wife. "I think at the bottom of it, there must be a fierce resolve to maintain a marriage," he says. "In a sense, it's saying to Satan, 'You're not getting this.' You must refuse to do anything that would distract you from your spouse. I urge people, don't flirt, don't touch. Be [willing to be] seen as a prude, to be perceived as rude... Honor the one who wears your ring."
