How beautiful you are, my darling; how beautiful your eyes are, like doves. Verse 16. That’s Him talking to her. Verse 16. You are so handsome, my love, pleasing beyond words. Look at how they verbally affirm each other; praise! When’s the last time you praised your spouse for how they look, their beauty, or what they do? Here’s what I want you to do: every married person right now, take your phone out for me. You, married, take your phone out. I want you to think of one thing you appreciate about your spouse. Keep that in mind as they sit next to you—one thing you appreciate about your spouse—and I want you to text it to them right now. Text it to them right now! Now, if you’re still thinking about what that one thing is, let me tell you what that shows me. That shows me you live in an environment where there’s no celebration and affirmation. Whenever you’re in an environment that lacks affirmation, you’re in one where there’s constant criticism. Living in a relationship with someone who constantly criticizes you creates an emotionally volatile environment. Who wants to be intimate with someone who always has negative things to say about you? Thanks! That’s my uncle clapping. Thank you all! Do you understand what I’m saying? Some of you could change your sexual relationship just by being more affirming: «I appreciate this about you,» «I love this about you,» «Thank you for that.» You can change the trajectory of your relationship by speaking life into each other.
