so many of you keep asking yourself this?....
but first let's talk about how to love...
I know... many of you think that to love means loving oneself...
but I tell you..

you haven't started the journey of real love if you think loving yourself is enough...
there's this quote around the world 🌎...
that says... "love yourself first, please yourself first before anyone"...
well, you are right but not right...

because if you can really love but not yourself first...
you are to "love your neighbor as you love yourself"...(the book of mark 12:31) and (Matthew 22:37-39)...

in this Bible passages, God first urged us to love him...
then he urged us secondly to love our neighbors as ourselves....
then he added that this is the greatest commandments ever...

NOW WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF?

it means not hurting your neighbor...
not thinking bad about your neighbor...
helping your neighbor out when there's need...
not converting what belongs to your neighbor (exo 20:17)...
doing good to your neighbor... (Hebrews 13:16) and (Luke 6:30) says so...
NOW WHAT DOES LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR MEANS TO MARRIED COUPLES 😍....??

now listen....
two people come together to form a bond, start a family and build a future together...
both are coming from different homes, backgrounds and got different home trainings...

husbands... you won't expect your wife to know everything you like or do like your mother... you teach her(just as Christ teaches the church everyday)...
you grow with her... you don't say mean words to her or abuse her , or complain about anything she does...
you are not showing love if you beat her up like an animal...
you will hurt her...
and when she's hurt, YOU ARE NOT LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF...

NOW YOU UNDERSTAND RIGHT???

your wife is your neighbor... she will come with different baggage of problems, character, the way she talks or behaves with be different from yours...

THE SAME WAY YOU WOULDN'T BEAT YOURSELF UP OR SLAP YOURSELF TO STUPOR...
IS THE SAME WAY YOU SHOULDN'T TREAT YOUR WIFE BAD...
THAT IS WHY GOD COMMANDED YOU TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR (WIFE)AS YOU LOVE...
