These are the three big secrets of a happy marriage: love yourself;love your partner better than yourself; love Jesus best of all. And the formula always works best when we start with Jesus. Someone observed that this is the acrostic recipe for joy.
J for Jesus Love Jesus best of all.
O for Others Love your partner better than yourself.
Y for You Love yourself.
Let us take a final gaze at those glorious words: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart." When we look into the tender eyes of an earthly lover, isn't that what we say, I love you with all my heart'? As we gaze into the precious eyes of our heavenly Lover, would that we be inspired to say, "Lord, I love You with all my heart."
