THE HABIT OF INFATUATION

•    fiances consumed with thinking about & communicating with each other
•    evident in Song of Solomon

FALLING OUT OF THE HABIT

•    new habits that dampen the flames of romance
•    it’s possible to create better habits that free marriage from a rut

ENJOYING EACH OTHER

•    recall favourite activities, try some new ones
•    love requires attentiveness
•    love not self-seeking: focus on the other

FORGIVING EACH OTHER

•    bitterness kills romance, causes us to miss out on grace
•    reflect Christ’s forgiveness for church

PURSUING EACH OTHER

•    Song of Solomon couple went to find each other
•    go out of your way to show thoughtful love
•    Christ pursued us - humbled Himself from heaven to the cross
•    takes time for new habits, healing
•    marriage teaches us how to be more like Jesus
