  1. From Now Until Eternity Marriage Ministry of One Love Christian Center

  2. Vision One on One Becoming One in Jesus Christ(Genesis 34:16)

  3. Mission Statement From Now Until Eternity is committed to developing Godly marriages that last, based upon biblical principles to build healthy and effective families of love that reflect the image of Jesus Christ.

  4. Steps to Enhancing Oneness • Study the Bible together on a regular basis. • Develop relationships with other couples. • Schedule consistent time to talk with your spouse about issues in your marriage and family. • Share ideals for achieving oneness with other couples.

  5. The Five Love Languages

  6. Words of Affirmation Actions don’t always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, “I love you,” are important—hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten. • Encouraging Words • Kind Words • Humble Words • Various Dialects • Proverbs 18:21,22 Proverbs 12:25

  7. Quality Time In the vernacular of Quality Time, nothing says, “I love you,” like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there—with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby—makes your significant other feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed dates, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful. • Togetherness • Quality Conversation • Learning to Talk • Quality Activities

  8. Receiving Gifts Don’t mistake this love language for materialism; the receiver of gifts thrives on the love, thoughtfulness, and effort behind the gift. If you speak this language, the perfect gift or gesture shows that you are known, you are cared for, and you are prized above whatever was sacrificed to bring the gift to you. A missed birthday, anniversary, or a hasty, thoughtless gift would be disastrous—so would the absence of everyday gestures. • Look to God as example • The Gift of Self • Make a Gift for your spouse

  9. Acts of Service Can vacuuming the floors really be an expression of love? Absolutely! Anything you do to ease the burden of responsibilities weighing on an “Acts of Service” person will speak volumes. The words he or she most want to hear: “Let me do that for you.” Laziness, broken commitments, and making more work for them tell speakers of this language their feelings don’t matter. • John 13:3-17 • Galatians 5:13

  10. Physical Touch • The Body is for Touching • Mark 10:13 • Mark 10:14-16 This language isn’t all about the bedroom. A person whose primary language is Physical Touch is, not surprisingly, very touchy. Hugs, pats on the back, holding hands, and thoughtful touches on the arm, shoulder, or face—they can all be ways to show excitement, concern, care, and love. Physical presence and accessibility are crucial, while neglect or abuse can be unforgivable and destructive.
