Romance Revisited

"Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at the first. If you do not repent, I will come and remove the lampstand from its place.



Introduction: The number one question asked a marriage counselor is:
"Why don't we love each other anymore?"



LET US LOOK AT 3 THINGS FROM THIS SCRIPTURE THAT CAN HELP US IN REKINDLING ROMANCE.

  I. REMEMBER...the good times and happy experiences


  II. REPENT...
1. Change your attitude
2. Choose to act in a loving way



  III. REPEAT...Do the things you did at first.
feelings follow actions



When you first fell in love you did five things:

     1. Gave attention(Phil. 2:2-4)
     2. Gave affirmation(1 Thes. 5:11)
     3. Gave affection(Eph. 5:19) (Eph. 5:28)
     4. Gave adventure(Eccl. 9:9, 1 Tim.6:17, Mat. 11:19)
     5. Gave accordance(1 John 1:7)
