How Do You Know?
When someone promises you they will do something, how do you know they mean it?
They do what they promise.
How does your mortgage company know that you meant the promise you made when you signed their contract?
You make your payments on time.
Your behavior is based on what you believe about the promise you made.
If you don’t make your payments, then your mortgage company might get the idea you didn’t mean it when you made it.
What will they do then?
Break up w/ you.
Repo your house, or your car, or whatever you’re not making payments on.
If you’re married, at your wedding, you made promises to your spouse.
How does he know, she know, you meant it when you made it?
You act like it.
If you’re married but you continue to act like you’re single, before long, you will be again.
Or, dead.
What does married behavior look like?
Obviously, you’re only intimate w/ your spouse.
You live in the same house.
Maybe you don’t any more, but there was a day when you slept in the same bed.
Neither my great grandparents nor grandparents did that by the time I showed up on the scene.
I don’t know for sure what that means.
But they both kept the promise they had made, till death do us part.
Even beyond that.
How we talk to each other.
That we talk to each other.
How we talk about each other, behind our backs.
We spend time together.
We enjoy it.
We do things that we both like to do.
The quantity of quality time is a priority.
Honesty.
Respect.
We do fun things.
Last week we went to Grand Falls.
Saw the chocolate water.
Responsible w/ out money.
We take an interest in the things the other in interested in.
These things don’t come naturally, necessarily.
Communication is vital on important things.
It’s hard work.
I had to ask this question b/c I did’t know.
I wanted to know.
I knew I didn’t know.
And Sara was the only person who could answer.
What do you think is romantic?
I want to romance her.
But I’ve got to do it in such a way that communicates that to her.
I can’t ask anybody else.
You may tell me what you would like.
But, you’re not Sara.
Sara has 2 primary love languages.
She likes gifts.
And she likes quality time.
So, if I want to romance her, make her feel loved, then in involves gifts and quality time.
The quality time doesn’t have to be w/ me.
But if I encourage, or provide an opportunity, like going to AR to see the grands, that makes her feel loved by me.
Do you know your spouse’s love language?
My point is, I made a promise to love her and I meant it.
Since I did, then I’ve got to move on it and do something about it.
Far from perfect.
But, we both are trying.
There was a Xmas when we blew it w/ one of our kids.
We tell them all the time we love them, we are proud of them, and we mean it.
We’ve promised to act like it, too.
Every Xmas, rather than buy a lot of gifts for all 3, we’d spend the bulk of our budget on 1 family gift.
Something we could all do together.
Our youngest, Jared, loves computer games.
He’s got an elaborate gaming station in his house.
Big, powerful computer, 2 large monitors, the headphones and he is playing w/ ppl all over the country.
Jason, our middle, not so much.
He plays.
We play games.
But computer games are not all that to him.
This Xmas, our oldest was gone to college, so just the 2 boys at home.
Sara and I spent the money on a Wii as a family gift.
Jared was thrilled.
Jason was hurt.
Sara and I, we should have known better.
We didn’t do for him what we wanted to do that would communicate how much we love him.
What comes naturally is we tend to love the way we want to be loved.
Spouse, kids, friends, whomever.
We do for them what we would like to have done for us.
Things we like.
But, they are different ppl w/ different likes and dislikes.
So if you love them, you’ve got to find out what they want you to do that communicates you meant it when you made the promise to act like it.
Moment of honesty.
Maybe we don’t do everything they want the way the want it.
Sometimes we want things that are not all that healthy.
When the kids wanted ice cream for supper we wouldn’t do it.
Maybe, occasionally for dessert.
But only after they ate their vegetables.
Adults can be that way, too.
Stuff we want may not be healthy for us or the relationship.
God does that for us.
But he doesn’t need to ask us.
He knows what will speak to our hearts that communicates to us that He loves us.
God knows what we like, what we want, and what we need and He does it for us in way that is only good for us.
He makes it known to us what He wants from us that demonstrates we mean it when we make the promise to love Him above everything else in our life.
He does that for us and expects us to do that for Him.
If you make the promise and you mean the promise then you must move on the promise.
