9 REASONS TO VERBALLY EXPRESS LOVE AND AFFECTION TO YOUR SPOUSE  {PART 1}

By: Yomi Adewale 

Some time ago, at a couples’ timeout where lovers were encouraged to express their affection towards each other in words and in any pleasant way they could at that moment. To the greatest surprise, there was a particular spouse who found it difficult to do so because he believed that love should only be resident in his heart. He believed his wife would take him for granted if he kept saying or showing love to his wife. He also believed that a man who pampered his wife would end up being her slave. He said, “I expressed love on our wedding day. Why should I keep expressing it like a baby lover? I can only say it when I have changed and stopped loving her.” Can you imagine the state of love in some marriages? Such attitudes are the foundation of scarcity and deficiency of love in marriages today

Love is an important ingredient in a thriving relationship, especially marriage. Where your spouse is being starved of affection or your spouse is nursing a feeling because you are not affectionate enough, this situation will impact your relationship negatively and it must be addressed immediately.

We have situations where some couples are truly in love. However, culture and lack of knowledge make them less expressive to affirm their love for their spouses. Many couples don’t even know many benefits attached to such practices of expressing love. Here, I will show you nine reasons you have to express your love to your spouse regularly.

And it came to pass when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife. Genesis 26:8 KJV

(1) IT SHOWS THE LOVE VALUE OF YOUR SPOUSE IN YOUR HEART AND ASSURES YOUR SPOUSE OF YOUR UNDOUBTED LOVE FOR HIM OR HER
Unexpressed love in the heart is only known to you the holder. It needs to be expressed to your spouse who is the beneficiary of it. This gives your spouse some sort of assurance that both of you are still in love. You have to form the habit of saying “I love you” often and show it through the love language of your spouse (Acts of service, word of affirmation, giving gifts, quality time and physical touch). You must learn to date each other again and again. Your love affair must not be boring, you need to spice it up
(2) IT IS A PROOF OF YOUR COMMITMENT AND IT ROOTS THE LOVE DEEPER IN THE HEART

The commitment of parties involved in marriage is important to the future of that relationship. When you keep expressing your love to your spouse, it gives a strong conviction in the heart of your spouse. That will take off fear and doubt of your true love position. The more you demonstrate love, the more you quench anger and the more your love gets rooted in the heart of your spouse

(3) IT AIDS CONNECTION, BONDING AND INTIMACY

When there is no restriction and inhibition about love in your marriage, the couple gets more intimate and connected. Love activities boost bonding and proximity between husband and wife. Just try it and you will see how your communication and sexual life will move to another level.

(4) IT BOOSTS TOCHY FEELINGS, ROMANTIC TOCHES AND OVERALL HEALTH

A conscious effort to express your love to your spouse will produce many unplanned and unconscious touches with beautiful feelings. There will be no struggle in hugging, kissing and playing with your wife in the process of expressing your love for each other. Your health will be boosted when you hug often and enjoy touches from the gentle hands of your lover
