Love 101: 5 Things What Every Couple Wants.
1. Love
1Co 13:13 (GNB)
Meanwhile these three remain: faith, hope, and love; and the greatest of these is love.
Love is one of the most important things that couples want from one another, as it is the foundation of any relationship. This kind of love is characterized by patience, kindness, selflessness, and forgiveness.
How do you show love?
a. Actions: Examples are cooking a meal for them, doing a household chore, or planning a surprise date.
b. Words: Expressing your feelings, and giving compliments deliberately
c. Listening: Giving them your full attention, and practicing empathic listening.
2. Respect
Eph 5:33 (GNB)
But it also applies to you: every husband must love his wife as himself, and every wife must respect her husband.
This means treating one another with kindness, consideration, and dignity and not belittling or speaking down to each other.
