(Tim) I've never really thought the authors and speakers dealing with the subject of how to really love your wife hit the truth on the head. More indirect hits, in my judgment.
When Mary Lee and I do pre or post-marital counseling, we use some boilerplate. Two of them we're fond of are "the path to a man's heart goes through his stomach" and "the path to a woman's heart goes through her children."
Most every Lord's day, our church has around ten women listed in the bulletin for prayer because they're bearing an unborn child. Currently, it's twelve--two Mary Lee's and my own grandchildren (Doug and Heather, and Lucas and Hannah are expecting). Also, David and Vanessa Abu-Sara are expecting. This is a pic of David rollicking on their living room floor with their first two. Do you think David owns Vanessa's heart?
