When uniting their lives in Love, a man and a woman expect to hold hands with each other through life. Love is the perfect bond that unites, and makes one man and one woman to become one flesh. It is when expressing such exalting and dignifying feeling when one may engage in the Celebration of Love. It is not words, presents, or kisses that celebrate Love. It is demonstration, confirmation, and affirmation that one have such exalting and dignifying feeling of Love.

A mother once said to her son… “When someone tells you I LOVE YOU, in silence and to yourself, you say… SHOW ME.”

This is the story of a man and a woman who did their part to… SHOW ME.

At the beginning of their marriage, the husband took half day off at work. Surprising her, he called to say that he is on his way home to take her to a nearby lake until the late afternoon hours. She was thrilled, and ready to go in no time. When he arrived, they both were like excited high school kids laughing, rejoicing, and in love with each other going to a field trip.

On their way to the lake, he momentarily made a stop leaving his car’s engine running. Again surprised, the wife was wondering where he was going. In just a minute or so, he came back. Through the passenger’s side window, he stretched his hand out holding a beautiful red rose. He told his wife that he will walk to the moon if that is what it would take to find her again, and that she is all he will ever need in his life.

In his early teen years, this husband discovered that certain pieces of classical music have powers to cuddle his senses. That day at the lake, and under the shade of a big oak tree, he decided to bring his wife to a world that he finds enchanting, absorbing, and captivating. Using his music player, he delicately brushed his wife’s skin with the tips of his fingers mimicking a solo piano playing Chopin’s Nocturne.

The sun was setting in the still warm evening hours of the day when the surprising and delightful day they both spent by the lake was approaching the end, but this man unveiled to his wife that he had another surprise for her. He took her to a French Bistro where the environment was quite, private, background music could not have been more appropriately chosen, and the food could bring anyone senses to a high point. After enjoying every bite of such food, and right before dessert was served, he took her to dance. At the end of the first romantic song, he discreetly kissed her not wanting her to feel embarrassed if anyone was watching.

This young man’s actions and his affections have once again overwhelmingly showed and vastly reassured his wife how his far-reaching love for her can go. Once at home, privacy and that day’s wonderful Celebration of Love lead to a physical encounter. The loving husband’s sense and sensibility did not precipitate matters. Instead, he honored the moment evidencing feelings for his wife in ways that emerge from the inside out without promoting an act that his wife may not be ready for.

This young man was one of the few who envisioned his wife as the one who ~in allegorical meaning~ at the end of the Celebration of Love determines when to open that door that finds on the other side the physical encounter that makes one man and one woman become one flesh.

They didn’t do it. They didn’t have it. They didn’t indulge themselves. At the end of that evening ~like some of the times they venerate Love in such a manner~ they received what men and women may when they cloth themselves with a perfect bond: Love. That bond may receive a sacred gift awarded only at the end of the Celebration of Love.

Time went by, and this husband and wife did more to… “SHOW ME”

It was for this husband a busy, aggravating, and obfuscating day at work. Driving back home by the lake did not bring up memories of the superb times that he and his wife spent together in harmony. Those were the days when Love ~and how they demonstrated, confirmed, and affirmed love to each other~ carried great weight in edifying the foundation of their lives. 

All he wanted was to get home. He was hoping that his wife would help him reach a free from strife state of mind as he relaxes for awhile. Instead, he found a wife exposing him to an unwelcome situation with their bank, that some of their bills require his attention, and that a friend decided to organize a party but she does want to get involved. He expressed to his wife that he had a complicated day at work, but she responded that he is not welcome to bring home problems he should resolve at work; and that his work and work-related preoccupations are part of his life none of which are related to her.

Possibly reaching a threshold he couldn’t prevent himself from crossing, he found a way to deal with it in one action. He approached his wife, and not showing affection but an aggressive desire, he undressed her and had sex with her. In the perception of such moment, the woman possibly was not in agreement with her husband’s loveless reaction. Probably, she became conscious that the relationship built on a foundation of genuine Love has deprecated and weakened to the point that it has fallen to pieces.

Possibly, neither the husband nor the wife could remember the sacred moments they were granted at the end of their once well-conceived Celebration of Love.

According to a very famous author “…there remains Faith, Hope, Love, these three; but the greatest of these is Love.” One another not less famous author regarded Love so favorably that he wrote “…because Love covers a multitude of sins.” Yet another shook many writing “…but if I have no Love, I am nothing.”

Will it be possible that an otherwise fine man and once devoted husband willing to surprise his wife with unexpected trips to lakes, roses, and French Bistros to express, demonstrate, and confirm his feelings has come to ignore 1 Corinthians 13:13 and chose to become part of a system of things likely to condemn and denigrate Love ?

Will it be possible that the wife that once was like an excited in love high school kid rushing to a field trip elected to be unconcerned with her husband’s needs, became superficial and trivial, and decided to bring Proverbs 25:24 to her once genuine and thriving relationship ?
