DAY FOUR

LOVE IS THOUGHTFUL
how precious also are your thoughts to me ... How vast is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand~Psalm 139:17-18

To love someone is not a mindless actions, but a process. When you first fell in love you were thoughtful. you couldn't stop thinking about your partner. They were on your mind all the time. you wanted what was best for them and couldn't wait until you saw them again. Once the hunt is over and the race won the sparks of romance slowly burn out.If your thinking does not mature enough to constantly include this person then you will be surprised often by your thoughtlessness.Thoughtlessness is a natural enemy to a loving relationship.

Men often struggle with this more than women. As a woman we are multi-taskers and find it easier to be thoughtful. For men , it often takes much more to bring this action to fruition. God created women to be to compliment men. "it is not good for man to be alone ; I will make him a helper suitable for him.~Genesis 2:18"

Men and women think so differently. Men are very concrete and often say exactly what they mean. Women, however, speak in meanings and inferences. if a couple does not understand this it can destroy them.Women long for their partners to be thoughtful, it is a major building block in their ability to feel loved.Therefor it is a mans work to put the pieces together and figure her out. If she must spell it out for him it detracts from the loved feeling she wishes for.
Men should listen and learn to be considerate of these unsaid messages and women should not speak one thing while meaning another.
Great marriages come from great thinking.
