Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest...

Ecclesiastes 9:9 "Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun."

It is so easy, in our world today, to forget that life is supposed to be joyful...not all joy...there must be sorrow, too, but there IS also supposed to be JOY!  I find it, also, important to note that it specifically mentioned living joyfully with your spouse.  Life is hard, and so is marriage at times, but--when centered on the Savior--marriage has the potential to bring more joy into your life than any other relationship on this earth, save only your relationship with God and Jesus Christ.

Let's remember to live joyfully...date regularly, tell your spouse you love them, be spontaneous, leave them little notes, buy their favorite ice cream instead of yours, etc...and make the most of the precious moments we are given together in this life.
