This is a beautiful devotion and it'll be more beautiful if you and your spouse can get together read the verse, the story, ask each other the questions below and pray together..
----------------------------------------------------------
Then You Came
Love never fails.
1 Corinthians 13:8
The young husband was desperate. His wife had abandoned him and their two children weeks before. Though she still called occasionally, he had no idea where she was. On the phone, he pleaded with her to come home and told her how much he and the children loved her, yet she continually rebuffed hi. Was it time to give up and move on?
No. The husband used his meager savings to hire a detective, who found his wife living in a third-rate hotel across the country. The husband borrowed money for a plane ticket. Soon he was on her doorstep saying " We love you so much. Wouldn't you come home?" She fell apar in his arms and they went home together.
Weeks later he asked why she hadn't come when he expressed his love repeatedly on the phone, " Because," she answered, " those were only words before. But then you came."
True love is more than words. It may involve flying across the country, even when it costs you your last nickel, to bring your spouse home.
Just between us.....

- How have I shown you my love this week?
- If " actions speak louder than words," are my deeds shouting or whispering my love for you?
- What can I do this week to show my love for you?
- How specifically, did Jesus show us HIs love?

i think actions say louder than words. it is better to show rather than talk about it only. however if talk comes with actions after that, then it is ok. we must always keep up to our words no matter what.
