During September I'm blogging each day about one thing I've learned from 35 years of doing ministry. Not rocket science -- just tips that have served me well these past three decades.
Lesson #18 - Every leader needs a lover.
Just make sure it's your wife (or husband).
I have seen more tragedies than I want to admit over the past 30 years of people who started well and finished poorly in this area.
Pray to have eyes only for your wife/husband.
Do date nights.
Take her to the spa.
Have regular vacations. Don't 'work hard' and then 'vacation hard.' That's a terrible rhythm of life.
Write spontaneous notes.
You get the idea. You did it when you were dating, so I know you know how to do it. Just keep on doing it.
The grass isn't greener on the other side; it's greenest wherever you water it.
And be blessed.
