Love Requires Being Aware and Taking Notice
Jun 16th, 2007 by Paul
One of the things I had to learn as a husband was to be aware and take notice of all the subtle things she did to express her love to me. Something that I took for granted at times because it was something she did on a regular basis.
She did these little acts of love so I would take notice of her affection. I’ll admit there were times I drop the ball and had no clue as to what was happening or what she was doing.
I just wanted to kiss her feet at times because of how much patients and how much she believes in our love. I know that God has given my wife a special wisdom into helping me understand. But in order for me to benefit from that wisdom I have to talk with her.
She is not difficult to talk with because she has a pleasant voice. I also realize that when my words are caring and sincere her voice becomes tender like a sweet song and then our level of conversation becomes intimate.
Intimacy is what she desire, oneness with her husband and that is why she gives me these little acts of affection. Sometimes it’s just the way she wraps her arm around mine and other times it may be the way she smiles at me.
Her eyes spoke love from the very first day I meet her and they still do today. The subtle moments when she expresses her love are romantic times for her and she expects love in return.
I have to be aware and always be in tune to those expressions of gentle love. Only by my loving caring responses will our love continue to grow and flourish into a life long marriage relationship.
