      Gold

      All of the gold and silver in the world is not worth as much as the abiding true love of another. Give your love as a precious gift to a mate worthy of your care and affection.

      9781400319558_INT_0001_002

      Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, you will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.

      Psalm 68:13

      Trust

      Let your mate know that he or she can trust in your loyalty and fidelity. Trust is one key to a happy bonding of your love. Cultivate trust, and you cultivate a fulfilling and refreshing love life.

      9781400319558_INT_0001_002

      The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain.

      Proverbs 31:11

      Homage

      Paying homage will bring the shine of love to your mate’s eyes. Don’t be hesitant to tell of the beauty that is brought to your life by your beloved. Take every opportunity to compliment your loved one.

      9781400319558_INT_0001_002

      My darling, you are beautiful! Oh, you are beautiful, and your eyes are like doves.

      Song of Solomon 1:15 NCV

      Honeycomb

      Don’t withhold the sweetness of love from your spouse. Accept the delights of love with an open hand. Enjoy and rejoice in the pleasures God has ordained in marriage.

      9781400319558_INT_0001_002

      My child, eat honey because it is good. Honey from the honeycomb tastes sweet.

      Proverbs 24:13 NCV

      Virtue

      Virtue is the foundation of a solid marriage. Let your mate know that he or she can safely trust his or her affection and love to you. Don’t give in to the temptation to squander your love in adultery.

      9781400319558_INT_0001_002

      Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.

      Proverbs 31:10

      Wandering

      An affair begins with the eyes. Be careful not to let your eyes deceive you. The one you desire may look very attractive, but adultery results in ugly arguments, guilt, and devastation. What looks pleasant will turn sour and destroy.

      9781400319558_INT_0001_002

      Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

      Ecclesiastes 6:9

      Garden

      Love is like a garden. The seed of love is planted, but unless someone tends the garden, a strong plant will never grow. Love requires long, hard work. Today is a good day to start paying attention to your beloved.

      9781400319558_INT_0001_002

      Awake, O north wind, and come, O south! Blow upon my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come to his garden and eat its pleasant fruits.

      Song of Solomon 4:16

      Words

      Words can build a relationship or destroy it. Let your words be those that build honesty and love between you and your beloved. Speak from your heart, and your love will be healthier for it.

      9781400319558_INT_0001_002

      Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

      Proverbs 16:24

      Nighttime

      May your nights be filled with the comfort of a binding love. Don’t let the troubles of your day intrude upon the coziness of a night spent in the arms of your beloved.

      9781400319558_INT_0001_002

      Come, let us take our fill of love until morning; let us delight ourselves with love.

      Proverbs 7:18

      A Seal

      Love needs a seal set upon it. A seal says this love of yours is important to you. It says you will be true and faithful to your beloved. Love your mate with confidence.

      9781400319558_INT_0001_002

      Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is as strong as death.

      Song of Solomon 8:6

      Act Kindly

      Kindness builds love. Act toward your beloved in a kindly manner that seeks the good of the one you love. Show your love by thinking of your mate first—before yourself. You will find a reward beyond yourself. You will find a reward beyond your wildest imagination if your love follows this noble path.

      9781400319558_INT_0001_002

      Don't ever forget kindness and truth. Wear them like a necklace. Write them on your heart as if on a tablet.

      Proverbs 3:3 NCV

      Forever

      True love weathers every storm and out-lasts every trouble. Make your love the kind of love that shelters you forever. Build a relationship with your beloved that will comfort you in your old age.

      9781400319558_INT_0001_002

      She is as lovely and graceful as a deer. Let her love always make you happy; let her love always hold you captive.

      Proverbs 5:19 NCV

      Finances

      Arguments about money can dim the pleasures you deserve to have with your beloved. Discuss with your mate how you both think your money should be spent. If you can both agree on a budget, your life together will be more mutually satisfying.

      9781400319558_INT_0001_002

      Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a wise wife is a gift from the LORD.

      Proverbs 19:14 NCV

      Loving Sex

      Loving sex binds a marriage together. Love your spouse unconditionally. Without reserve. Don’t use sex as a reward for good behavior or as a threat to get what you want. Love each other abundantly and well.

      9781400319558_INT_0001_002

      The wife does not have full rights over her own body; her husband shares them. And the husband does not have full rights over his own body; his wife shares them.

      1 Corinthians 7:4 NCV

      One Mind

      Seek harmony in your relationship with your loved one. Don’t take detours to total agreement. Talk about your differences until there is full understanding. Do not be afraid of a healthy compromise. Live with your beloved in peace.
