Leave it to Mike (Simmons that is!) to provide a resource this morning in our men's accountability group that leveled me with conviction. Available online at: http://www.gty.org/Resources/Articles/A203 is an article, "Marriage As It Was Meant to Be" (adapted from John MacArthur's Different by Design. Within this article is a section titled, "Purifying Love." I was humbled by the following:
| Love wants only the best for the one it loves, & it cannot bear for a loved one to be corrupted or misled by anything evil or harmful. If you really love your wife, you'll do everything in your power to maintain her holiness, virtue, & purity every day you live.
That obviously means doing nothing to defile her. Don't expose her to or let her indulge in anything that would bring impurity into her life. Don't tempt her to sin by, say, inducing an argument out of her on a subject you know is sensitive to her. Love always seeks to purify. |
