A few weeks ago I had a delightful dinner with a pastor of a very large church. \u00a0The conversation ranged across topic after topic but eventually settled on a lengthy discussion of marriage. \u00a0The pastor talked about the key to his long and successful marriage and the key to Christian marriage in general. \u00a0His advice was a variation on advice I\u2019ve heard countless times across my decades of life in evangelical churches:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Men, you must love your wives. \u00a0A woman responds to your sacrificial love (the love that Christ has towards his church), and if you love her sacrificially, she will reward that love with her admiration, her respect, and her affection. \u00a0You would never think of withdrawing money from an ATM without first making a deposit, would you? \u00a0You must invest in your spouse through your care, your attention, your romance, and your pursuit of her. \u00a0A woman thrives in such circumstance, and she responds with an overflow of love towards you and your children. \u00a0Yet men again and again try to \u201cwithdraw\u201d love from their wives without making a sufficient deposit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you care to comment below, please tell me what is wrong with this statement and why. \u00a0But with or without comments, I\u2019ll try to answer my own quiz tomorrow.<\/p>\n
