Godly Success In Marriage

APPRECIATION

Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace. For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ. And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:1-11

---------------------------------------------
If you had only five minutes to express your appreciation to your spouse, what would you say to him or her? Reflect on your spouse’s character qualities, achievements, skills and talents, and the special things he or she does for you. When you have completed your list, consider putting it in the form of a letter or poem and give it to your spouse. Or keep your list and use it to give your mate one honest compliment each day in the coming week.
