Walking in Love | The Well Podcast S3E14

Clayton King is back on The Well podcast with Pastor Phil and Les Norman to talk about walking in love and keeping the fire alive in marriage. Clayton challenges us to answer the question, “Are you walking in love right now?” Falling in love is just the beginning. Walking in love for a lifetime is the real treasure. Walking in love is a daily habit. In marriage, you can’t maximize the gift God has given you in your spouse and the idea of being one flesh if you aren’t walking in love. You become one flesh when you get married, but the goal is to continue to grow in the depth of friendship over time. The Song of Solomon is a beautiful illustration of the gift of friendship God gives married couples in their spouses. We need to understand how God delights in us so we can learn how to delight in our spouses. Your goal is to be the world’s leading expert on your spouse and know them intimately. Walking in love is a miracle, a choice, and a work, because love is more than something you fall into. Clayton shares three steps married Christian couples should take to keep the fire alive in their marriage: Pray together Regularly attend worship services together Talk about spiritual things The primary goal of marriage is not individual happiness, but corporate holiness for the glory of God. God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. When you’re looking to your spouse to bring you happiness, you are looking at them to bring you something only Jesus can do for you. The only one who will love you perfectly without fail is Jesus. True love is when you know somebody intimately, with all their hitches and hang-ups, and yet you still love them. The goal isn’t for you to change your spouse, but to love them the way they are. Walking in love requires time, effort, and sacrifice. You won’t drift into a marriage that is full of love. You have to stoke the flames!
