The elder who did communion at our church last Sunday said something very interesting. He said communion is a practice, not a ritual. A ritual, he explained, is something done to try to influence God. A practice, he said, it’s something we do because of who God is to us.
I’d use the word incantation rather than ritual. But either way, I’d like to apply this idea to our marriages.
Do you ever say or do things with your wife in a ritualistic way? Do you follow a script because you think it will get you what you want? Are you looking for the incantation that makes her stop being mad? Or the incantation that causes her to give you a bit of respect? And who among us doesn’t want an incantation that causes her to undress, lie down, and beg us for sex?
How do you think your wife would feel if she realised what you were doing? And guys, if you find something that works and do it too many times, she will catch on!
Rather than a ritual or incantation, I suggest a practice. Do things because of who she is and what she’s done for you. Appreciate her. Love her. Support her. It’s not magic, but it could decrease anger and increase respect and nudity!
