V-Day

Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, a day dedicated to love. Every day should be dedicated to love, doing things for each other and setting aside time to spend together should always be one of your priorities in your relationships.

Spoken Word church had a love/Valentine’s Day themed service this past Sunday, where we had a few female speakers whom each shared a scripture on love and briefly described how it made them feel or what they believe the scripture is saying. We ended with our Pastor, Drew and First Lady, Linda Harris speaking on relationships.

Some of the things they shared:

Communication: It is important to be able to speak to one another without fear of being judged or hurt by the other partner. Do not wait until you’re married or in a committed relationship to discuss important topics such as how each other handles finances and what their individual relationship with Christ is like.

Openness: You must be open about all your flaws and experiences. You do not want to wait until an issue comes up and you get exposed and have to do “damage control” in the moment. 

Giving and receiving of gifts, from a man’s perspective is a way to express his own love to his significant other.

For those of us that are not in a relationship, do not think of this holiday as a reminder of the fact that you don’t have someone to have date night with, but think about what you want in your future mate and write it out, be detailed and let God know the desires of your heart.
