What Love Looks Like

2/20/2017

11 Comments

 
Do you know what love looks like?
Written by Aaron & April Jacob
Love. It's a beautiful thing. It grows with time, effort, kindness, thoughtfulness, and occasionally some sticking-it-out-through-thick-and-thin.

So, what does love look like? Well, a lot of things.

Here is a list of how love might look in your marriage.
  • Love looks like a back scratch, while sitting in front of the TV.
  • Love looks like your spouse getting up early with the kiddos (or dog) so that you can sleep in.

  • Love looks like like a hug and a listening ear, after a long day at work.
  • Love looks like compassion, sympathy, and empathy.
  • Love looks like patience, forgiveness, and humility - time and time again (even when you feel like you don't deserve it!).
  • ​Love looks like "hello" kisses that last longer than two seconds. 
  • Love looks like warm towels that your spouse stuck in the dryer when you hopped in the shower.
  • Love looks like a handwritten note from your spouse, that you find in the car.
  • ​Love looks like a good-luck text before your big interview.
  • Love looks like service, selflessness, and a desire to put your spouse's needs above your own.
  • Love looks like a kiss, a cuddle, a hug, or... more.
This list of what love looks like is so accurate, so simple, and so cute!
  • Love looks like words of affirmation and praise, offered from your spouse, in front of your friends and family.
  • Love looks like a sincere compliment, offered just because. 
  • Love looks like your spouse picking up your favorite kind of cereal at the store.
  • Love looks like encouraging words when you are faced with important decisions.
  • Love looks like constant strength from your spouse when you find out bad news.
  • Love looks like a swat on the bum as you walk by.
  • Love looks like an, "I'm sorry for being stubborn," hug and kiss.
  • Love looks like your spouse cleaning your car.
  • Love looks like your spouse staying up late with you while you finish a work project that got thrown at you at 10pm. 
  • Love looks like getting up early to make your spouse their favorite breakfast.
  • Love looks like a surprise getaway.
  • Love looks like honesty, fidelity, and fierce loyalty, in all of their forms.
  • Love looks like your spouse laughing at your jokes, or over something funny you said.

READ: THREE SECRETS TO A HAPPY MARRIAGE

  • Love looks like working side-by-side pulling weeds in the back yard.
  • Love looks like sitting down to a lunch your spouse fixed for you.
  • Love looks like your spouse buying you that jacket you have been wanting for weeks.
  • Love looks like your spouse blowing it off when you know you said something that pushed their buttons.
  • Love looks like your spouse running to the store, in the middle of the night, to grab some medicine that you need.
  • Love looks like your spouse zipping their lips when they know they are right, but don't want to rub it in.
  • Love looks like your spouse supporting you as you run your first marathon.
  • Love looks like holding hands, butterfly kisses on the cheek, whispers in the ear, footsies under the table.
  • Love looks like road trips, favorite songs, outdoor adventures, swinging on swings, and laughing together.
  • Love looks like a flower, a spray of cologne, a box of chocolate, or a chick flick.
  • Love looks like dancing in the kitchen, playing games, talking a walk, enjoying the sunset, and watching out for each other.
  • Love looks like a phone call to check in during lunch.
  • Love looks like that "I'm so glad you are mine," smile from across the room.
  • Love looks like cuddling in bed for way too long on Saturday mornings.
  • Love looks like opening a door, carrying a bag, or offering to get something for your spouse. 
In short, love looks like life - ups and downs included. It's sharing life and growing together with that special someone. That someone who cares about you, forgives you, serves you, and totally gets you, even when others don't. Someone who won't leave you when the going gets tough. Someone who will hold your hand through thick and thin. Someone who will be there, rain or shine, because sometimes you really only have each other.

Yes, love is a pretty beautiful thing. Keep nurturing love. Keep nurturing your marriage.

Narsitcism has no empathy and respect ...without these ingredients marriage cannot be the way it is meant to be even lowering expectations. A one sided marriage no matter what is said or done.

How To Get Your Ex Lover/Partner/Boyfriend/Girlfriend/Wife Or Husband Back Contact Dr David [email protected] or WhatsApp/Call Him +2347051149457

My husband changed dramatically towards me, doesn’t communicate anymore. He disrespects me and accuses me falsely of infidelity because of wicked gossip …but I’m simply AMAZED at the results of PRIEST AWESOME (AWESOME SPELL TEMPLE) who did a reunion love spell for me. Everything is going so well and EXACTLY how he said it would be. Even though it took 3 days to fully progress, it was so worth it because things are just about at perfection! How he took my situation and completely turned it around to give me exactly what I wanted is beyond me, but something I will never question and just be completely grateful for. God Bless Dr. DAVID for turning sorrow into happiness. You can also contact PRIEST AWESOME : give you 100% guarantee that he will help you.. https://web.facebook.com/Awesomelovepelltemple Email him: [email protected] or WhatsApp him on +2347051149457

EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET EX HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND OR EX WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AND CURE HERPES AND INFERTILITY THAT WORKS WITHIN 24 HOURS.

Contact Doctor Odunga at [email protected] OR Whats App/CALL +2348167159012

I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Doctor Odunga and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at [email protected] and later he gave me his Whats-App number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Doctor Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. My husband and I reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO DOCTOR ODUNGA. I came online to say this: If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man.

Contact his email at [email protected]

OR Whats App/Call +2348167159012 and you too will give a testimony too to help others

My husband left me for another woman a few months ago and ever since then my life has been filled with pain and agony because my husband was my first love whom I have spent my entire life with. A friend and also a colleague from work told me he saw some testimonies of a spiritual counselor called Doctor Muna, He can bring back lover within some few days. Ridiculously, I laughed it out and said I am not interested. But for friendship's sake, she consulted this God sent man on my behalf and to my greatest surprise, Immediately after 12 hours, my husband called me for the very first time for over 7 months saying "I miss you babe and I'm so sorry for everything I made you went through" I couldn't say a word but cried over the phone and hanged up. We are back together and living Happily together again. To be honest, I still can’t believe it, because it’s highly unbelievable. Thank you DOCTOR MUNA for bringing back my love and also to my SELFLESS FRIEND. Laura, who interceded on my behalf. For anyone who might need help of this wonderful spiritual counselor, here is the email address: [email protected], Also add him on WhatsApp: +2347035449257

HOW TO GET YOUR EX BACK WITH YOU NOW!!!
I have something to share with you!!! There is a great joy in my heart which I want to share with everyone. My name is Gunn Jenssen Faith . I had a misunderstanding with my lover several months ago; which led us to break up and he never wanted to hear my voice again. But as time went on, a good friend of mine recommended Father Agbon  who could help me with Love Spell to get my man back. At first, I thought the idea of a love spell was strange,but was willing to give it a try because i really love my boyfriend. For the first time I was scared to contac the Father Agbon because I was not sure if what they did was against my religion. But my friend assured me that they only use Spell which is safe and has no side effects. I felt a little better and decided to contact Father Agbon on his mail ([email protected])I contacted him through his email and explained everything to him. He said that I shouldn't worry, that my lover will come back to me on his knees begging for forgiveness. I bought an item that he told me to buy for the preparation of the spell and assured me that my lover will come to me within 48 hours in remorse. My greatest joy now is that he actually came back to me and fell on his knees begging for forgiveness. We got back together and our relationship has been better this second time around. I have to give Father Agbon all the credit for helping us get back to a better place than where we began. The new found love that my boyfriend has for me is incredible and i can't wait to see what the future holds for us. Do you have any problem with your loved one? Well worry no more because Father Agbon can provide you with a spell to get him or her back. With the help of a spell just as he helped me. Contact Father Agbon via email: [email protected] Whatsapp NUM: +2349058797761

Google AI has caused me more problems than it has solved. I was connected to a cryptocurrency trader through Google AI and lost my hard-earned money to a scam. If it weren't for the assistance of Lord Meduza, whom my sister-in-law recommended to me, I wouldn’t have been able to win the $435 MILLION Mega Millions Lottery. My life could have taken a drastic turn due to the overwhelming bills I faced after being cheated by the crypto traders. Lord Meduza utilized his extraordinary spell powers to determine the perfect six numbers I needed to win the Mega Millions Lottery, and I followed his instructions to play those numbers. I am incredibly thankful for the support, love, and kindness he has shown, which is beyond measure.

I was so lucky to win the $344.6 million prize in the lottery. I have been playing the Powerball lottery for about 20 years, and I hadn’t won a big amount until Dr. Isa helped me with his spiritual winning numbers. I thought it was all fake until he gave me the numbers and directed me on how to play. He assured me that I was going to win and asked me to give him 48 hours to finish his work, which I did. On the third day, he gave me the numbers and provided instructions on how to play, and luckily, I won. I want to let everyone who is reading this know that this spell really works, and you can also be a winner if you give it a try to see for yourself. The moment you contact Dr Isa for help is the end of suffering in your life. He has been helping people around the world, and I’m happy that I’m among those who have benefited from the great work he’s doing. You can reach him if you really want to win the lottery.

I acquired my first home at the beginning of the year. To some, lottery players appear ridiculous, while we view it as a chance for an improved future. I'm known as Megan Taylor and I have played the lottery for ten years, yet I haven't won anything substantial. In my pursuit of understanding how to win better, I was advised to consult Lord Meduza, the priest who provided me with the precise 6 numbers that helped me secure the Mega Millions jackpot of $277 million after using his spell powers and following his guidance. Lord Meduza services is top notch, and I believe your dreams aren't finished unless you decide they are. Contact Lord Meduza the priest, and he will assist you in realizing your aspirations.

I had given up on ever getting cured of HSV2 because i have try many treatment none of them worked out for me, i have gone to different hospitals and they always tell me the same thing there is no cure for herpes. when i came across a post about Dr Osazu in the internet from a lady called Angela i contacted her and she reassured me with his herbal medicine which i took according to the way he instructed, that how i was cured. I doubted at first because i have been to a whole lot of reputable doctors, tried a lot of medicines but none was able to cure me. so i decided to listen to him and he commenced treatment, and under two weeks i was totally free from Herpes. i want to say a very big thank you to Dr Osazu for what he has done in my life. feel free to leave him a message on email [email protected]
