You are Beautiful My Love

Behold, you are beautiful, my love. Behold, you are beautiful. Your eyes are doves behind your veil. Your hair is as a flock of goats, That descend from Mount Gilead.
Your teeth are like a newly shorn flock, Which have come up from the washing, Where every one of them has twins. None is bereaved among them.
Your lips are like scarlet thread. Your mouth is lovely. Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
Your neck is like David's tower built for an armory, Whereon there hang a thousand shields, All the shields of the mighty men.
Your two breasts are like two fawns That are twins of a roe, Which feed among the lilies.
Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, I will go to the mountain of myrrh, To the hill of frankincense.
You are all beautiful, my love. There is no spot in you. (Song of Solomon 4:1-7)

How many times in the last week have you spoken to your wife like this? O.K., In the last month? The last year? Ever? If you ever doubt that your wife wants to hear stuff like this, go to Walmart, and just past the cash registers is the beauty section, walk up and down the 5 or 6 isles of beauty supplies and ask yourself, do women want to feel beautiful?
Flowers are good, candles are a nice touch, maybe chocolate makes your wife happy, But nothing will make her blush with that warm glow of love, and give her a feeling of comfort like staring her in the eyes and telling her how beautiful she is.
Part of giving your all to your woman is building her up. Her self confidence can directly reflect her impression of how you view her. And if she thinks your no longer attracted to her, her self esteem can be destroyed. Protecting your lady is more than being a bodyguard, you must protect her heart as well. Lift up your wife, as the song lyrics go " You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;You raise me up... To more than I can be." Christ raises us up, do likewise for her.
