Description
Plenty of couples sit on the same couch every night and live on different planets. If you want to strengthen your relationship, start with the person right next to you. The world says spread your love wide, and God says take it deep with the people closest to you. You do that by walking toward them on purpose every day, the way Christ walked toward us and gave himself up for us. In this sermon, Pastor Kaloma Smith of UAMEZ Church in Palo Alto, California preaches on Ephesians 5:1-2 to married couples, partners and single people and gives four steps to a deeper love: study your partner, stay when it's easier to scroll, speak tender words and surrender daily. Questions this sermon answers How do you strengthen your relationship? Walk toward your partner on purpose through small daily deposits, like asking questions you don't already know the answer to. How do you keep a relationship strong? Keep studying the person you love for life, the way 1 Peter 3:7 calls husbands to live with their wives with understanding.
