I recently had a long conversation with a friend wherein we talked about the traditional teachings of our particular conservative Christian culture and how we can see what those teachings have produced after decades of living them.
Hmm, very thought-provoking. I have often wondered what marriages would look like if, at their outset, the man would intentionally shape (reshape?) the structure and vision of his life to incorporate and maximize what his honey loves, is good at, and has spent the last decades if her life developing. Isn't this similar to how CHRIST leads us and loves us?
I would say he definitely makes room for our giftings, since he created them in us. Relationships should not be one-sided. There should always be give and take, and when both people try to out-give each other, it’s sweeter.
This!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Also, I love what you brought out from Ruth, the idea of marriage as rest. I never noticed that before.
I’ve read it so many times and last year was the first time I saw it. I love when we finally see little snippets of what God has for us!
