Song of Songs 8:6 Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as enduring as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame ( NLT).
DO THE THINGS YOU DID AT FIRST
It is common to hear some married folks (especially women) talk about their beautiful marital past in the early days of their union. A number of them are feeling unloved and bored with marriage.
When they recount stories of how romantic their marriages were in the early days of their union and what obtains at present, you'll see that something is missing already in their love life. They remember the date nights, vacations, exchange of gifts and how they celebrated anniversaries.
Any marriage can experience a lull if the couples are not intentional about reviving their love life from time to time. If love in marriage is to be sustained, it is pertinent that couples do the things they did at first that made their love life interesting, hot and sizzling.
In the book of Revelation, I found a supporting scripture that talked about love though the context is not about marriage but the principle applies to marriage as well. It is about a church who once loved the Lord but their love waned. Christ instructed them to do the very things they did at first again.
Revelation 2:4-5 KJV
[4] Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
[5] Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works;....
The principle in the scripture above applies in marriage as well. When love is dying and marriage is becoming boring, do those things you did at first that made your marriage interesting.
Your marriage is as interesting as you make it to be. Boredom is also self-inflicted. Who says you can't go out on date nights again? It is not only for newly weds. If you both will return to the things you did as newly weds when your love was hot, your love life will come alive again.
