I once attended a Bible study with a pastor who was newly married. The topic for the day was kindness in marriage.

He referred us to a verse (and forgive me, I don't remember where it is) that said we should outdo one another with kindness.

We should love our partner so much that we want to please him endlessly. When two people treat one another this way there's sweet bliss.

We put our spouses happiness at the top of our priority list.

Fortunately I married a guy who communicates and reciprocates. We've been married for almost 25 years and we talk, talk, talk. We have trained one another through the years and his happiness is sooo important to me. I also know my happiness is sooo important to him. It's a blessing.

This is what the message is about. God wants us to constantly seek the best for one another.

I was reminded of this when I was reading Thistle's post in another forum.

Praying for happiness in everyone's marriage.
