You are going to die illustration. Dr. Karl Meniger says when basic are not being met we move in one or two directions. We withdraw in flight, that is isolation or we draw our weapons to fight and either way it is destructive in marriage. But in covenant we choose to love. We choose to meet needs. We choose to express love. Ruth Graham, Billy Graham's wife said it is my responsibility to love Billy. It is God's responsibility to change him and make him good. Love has to do with meeting needs.

We want to fix the problem without really listening to our wives. Jam. 1:19. When we talk about love languages I want to deal with this thing called "in love".
