Love in the Pews: Ripple Effect of Affection in Church

We usually sit up front at church. But yesterday we arrived just before the service started, and the front was full, so we ended up close to the back.

I was looking at the folks in front of me during the sermon, and I noticed a number of married couples sitting close, or one with their arm around the other, or a hand on a leg.

It seems showing love for your spouse is a cultural norm there. That’s great, it encourages others to do the same. It may also nudge those who are not as loving. Perhaps it could even cause someone to think they should work on their marriage.

Public displays of attention aren’t just for you and your wife. They have the power to effect other couples in a good way.
