One thing that I promised myself when I got married, was that I wouldn't take my wife for granted -ever! Without emotions you're dead. We need to practice positive emotions toward our spouse whether we feel them or not as part of our obligation to make the other person feel valued and sometimes we need to fake it until we make it; being emotionally proactive until we feel the genuineness of our practice. Platitudes like "Love isn't' a Feeling," may be partly true because you have to love her whether you feel like it or not, but true love energizes our emotions.
Repent is not just turn around 180, is a lot more than that, is the simplistic way repentance is to understand and abhor unrighteousness, the sin, that so offend our Father in heaven, to understand His Holy character and attribute and continue to keep it in mind, it is to glorify Him for His grace and withholding the so due wrath we deserve.
I agree with this. My wife of 24 years said she doesn’t love me anymore and she doesn’t want to love me. She said “I’m going to counseling to work on myself, but I may still not want to love you”
In all of Jimmy's sermons, it's always him (or men) that are hurting their wives. The guy is the sloppy one, the jerk, the insensitive one, the lazy one, the one ridiculed, the one that never gets it. I'm tired of this narrative. Me, I love Christ, my family, I am a hard working man with high moral values. Never drank, smoked, used drugs, never been unfaithful, I am very attentive to my wife's needs, I am romantic, caring and devoted. Gave a kidney to my dying brother. Get the picture? That's me. And yet, my Christian wife is constantly nagging, complaining, extremely jealous, imagining crazy scenarios, disrespectful to me, etc etc. I wish Jimmy would address that issue as well, in a serious manner. Because I'm not the only one out there.
One of the greatest things I learned is this fact that love is not a feeling, but a choice.

I love this message. Take care of your marriage. Be great stewards of what God gives you.
Love is not by feelings, its work, its a choice. The feelings can always catch up. Thank yoi pastor jimmy

Hey Jimmy, I thought you were a rapture expert? I guess you've gone back to the marriage thing , right ?
