1. Hello and welcome. It’s episode 236 of #MrMrsBetterHalf. Mr & Mrs Better Half is designed to strengthen marriages & relationships that will lead to marriage, with wisdom from God's Word. 
2. If you missed the last episode, “My in-laws are trying to control my home because they are rich, how do I respectfully draw the line?” please get it here: wakelet.com/wake/92c51487-… #MrMrsBetterHalf
3. Today’s topic is “Does love wear out with time?” #MrMrsBetterHalf
4. This sounds like it’s coming from someone concerned – either because he or she is single and worried about getting married and experiencing waning love; or because he or she is married and realizing that s/he doesn’t feel so hyped about love after a while. #MrMrsBetterHalf
5. The truth is that love, like any other substance or essential commodity, can deplete with time. Anything that comes can go. #MrMrsBetterHalf
6. Love can wear out with time if you don’t pay attention. There is no automatic sustainability for anything. #MrMrsBetterHalf
7. If the grass is greener on the other side, someone is watering it. And if you see greener grass that isn’t being watered, it’s most likely AstroTurf! #MrMrsBetterHalf
8. Newton’s first law of motion says, “every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force”. #MrMrsBetterHalf
9. In marriage, it is the same – you must learn to apply relevant force. You need to understand that you must find a way to keep the romance alive. #MrMrsBetterHalf
10. What got you interested in or attracted to your partner in the first instance? And how do you keep that fire aflame? #MrMrsBetterHalf
11. How do you keep the romance alive? I’ll share a few tips: #MrMrsBetterHalf
12. A. By deepening communication. Communication in dating is different from communication in marriage. #MrMrsBetterHalf
13. B. By sustaining dating in marriage. This is major in keeping the romance alive. #MrMrsBetterHalf
14. Many people who have been married for over 10 years tend to take each other for granted and claim not to know how to date their spouses anymore. #MrMrsBetterHalf
15. The irony is, some of these people are actively dating other people. The same way you date someone you just met is the same way you date your husband or wife. #MrMrsBetterHalf
16. Do the things you used to do in the early days. Buy romantic and thoughtful gifts as you would if you were still toasting her or trying to impress him or her. #MrMrsBetterHalf
17. Use endearing words; blow his or her mind; invest continuously in romantic dates, gifts and give special attention. #MrMrsBetterHalf
18. Some people just want special attention and that feeling that someone is thinking about them and for them. #MrMrsBetterHalf
19. Effort and creativity must be poured into the process – protect, impress and bring smiles to your partner’s face. #MrMrsBetterHalf
20. It is a deliberate effort that must be planned and prioritized. Protect the time with your spouse – be present and fight against tiredness, #MrMrsBetterHalf
21. You don’t want to be dozing off when someone is trying to get your attention and do something nice for you. #MrMrsBetterHalf
22. Also, it is very important to fill each other’s emotional tank in order to keep love and romance alive, especially in marriage. #MrMrsBetterHalf
23. When you are deliberate about filling your partner’s emotional tank, you will keep love alive. People gravitate toward people who make them feel alive. #MrMrsBetterHalf
24. Speaking their love languages and doing the things that they actually appreciate and value will fill their emotional tanks. #MrMrsBetterHalf
25. What is the thing you do or the place you go that makes your husband or wife feel alive? And what do you do that drains them? #MrMrsBetterHalf
26. If you love football or exercise and your partner hates it and doesn’t support you or nags about why you have to watch football or exercise, there will be friction as their actions will drain you. #MrMrsBetterHalf
27. You have to be interested in the things that interest your spouse to keep love alive. #MrMrsBetterHalf
28. If you are detached, you will drain them – and no one loves people that drain them. #MrMrsBetterHalf
29. So as we celebrate this Valentine’s season, remember to pay attention to what makes your partner happy and make a conscious effort to keep romance and your love alive. #MrMrsBetterHalf
30. I hope this has been helpful to you. I will be back next week with another topic. Until then, thanks for following, participating and RTing. May your marriages and relationships be sweet! #MrMrsBetterHalf
