Shall We Dance?

Watched a short segment of the movie today....and I'm so inspired to learn how to dance the waltz and salsa!! Getting really excited about our dance class starting 2 Tuesdays from now too =o) I think dancing is something that can really bring a couple together and enhance the relationship. That explains why so many dance schools are set up by husband and wife teams!

In my profession, they always refer to marriage as a dance...and your spouse your dance partner. In a way, I think it's a beautiful analogy =o) Husband and wife waltz, tango, salsa their way through the marriage. In a dance, the more you dance with someone, the more you'll know their style and the more you can fit each other. I guess this is the same with marriage! The more you live with the person, the more you'll fit with him or her.

In a dance, you need practice to reach perfection. It's just the same in marriage too...you'll need practice on how to know and be sensitive to your spouse, you'll need practice on how to show love and how to be accomodating. I think the trouble with many marriages now is that the couple loses the perseverance and patience to work things out.

Call me a hopeless romantic, but I believe every marriage has the potential to have a happy ever after ending =o) Not because of the story books I read, but because if every couple applies God's principals into their marriage, there's no reason why things can't work out. For example the love verse (1 Cor 13:4-8):

Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
Love doesn't strut,
Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always "me first,"
Doesn't fly off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.

Love never dies.

Inspired speech will be over some day;

praying in tongues will end;

understanding will reach its limit.

Such beautiful desccription of love....how can anyone who abides by these truth ever fail in their marriage? Of course..man is weak, and theses standards are high...but it's not unattainable =o) Good news is that by the power of the Holy Spirit that God has placed within us, we can do it!

So looking forward to my marriage which will be happening soon! I thank God for preparing a husband for me who also values the truth in these few important verses!

Looking forward to our dance of love....
