"I'm Not Saving My Heart..."
For those who are all too familiar with the phrase "I'm saving my heart for my future husband..." I thought you might find this article interesting.

A friend of ours from church recently sent us an article she'd written that was such a blessing to me personally as a single young lady serving in our family. It is a refreshing perspective that I wish more people could hear -- single and married alike.I appreciated the thoughts shared in this article and think that more young people and married alike need to understand and live this:
Loving my husband would thus be an outpouring of my love for God; my love for God always coming first. It does not take away from the love (living 1 Corinthians 13) that I would give my husband by loving him out of a love for God, but rather adds to it. My love would be a godly love, directed by God’s Spirit rather than a love that I would work at in my own strength.The only way I can truly love my husband is by loving God. The same goes for others -- the only way I can truly love others, is by loving God. The more I love God, the less I will love myself and the more I will love others.
Her final quote was excellent:
No, I am not giving my heart to any young man that may come after it, but I am not saving it for my husband either. I am giving it all to God, because it is with Him that my heart belongs.

That really was a great article! I know that by loving God with all my heart, soul, mind, strength...I can truly love my husband. Sometimes though I forget how important that is...and no doubt my husband feels it(even if he doesn't know why).
Thanks for posting that...I recieved much from it.
I have heard of this perspective before, I find it refreshing and agreeable. God must always be first in my life, whether or not a husband comes along. =)
