Affirmations of Oneness

Following on from Monday’s post, here are some positive ways to affirm oneness. Some are more relevant to married couples specifically, however like I said yesterday, oneness is a journey.

1)   Commit yourself to never mention or even entertain the thought of divorce or separation of any kind as a possible way out.

2)   Spend time together. Have a ‘date’ once a week.

3)   Completely forgive the other for their sins. Don’t harbour bitterness. “Love covers a multitude of sins.”

4)   Express affection and desire for each other beyond the bedroom.

5)   Talk together about issues, children and other needs.

6)   Think through and discuss how you two complement each other.

7)   Refuse to argue together. Acknowledge differences but then solve problems.

8)   Pray together regularly. (More than at meal time!)

9)   Study God’s Word together.

10) Develop a family vision. (How does God want you as a family {and couple} to minister in this world?)

Which ones are you doing already? Any more to add?
