“What do you want to do on vacation?” I had told my husband I had never seen the South and would love to go there on a car trip with him. Now he was getting the details, formulating a plan. We have always enjoyed traveling with each other. This would be fun. “And what would you like to do in the South?” I asked. It seemed like a polite and logical question. “Oh, I’m sure I can think of things I’d like to do, but I wanted to make sure you got to do the things you wanted.”
Isn’t that the meaning of love? Not how you can delight me or I can delight myself, but how I can delight you. And what would be your response if your spouse cared for you in this way? Wouldn’t it warm your heart? Wouldn’t you be likely to respond in kind? How would this kind of caring effect your marriage dance?
What is it your mate wants? How can you reach out and delight them today?
