Valentine’s Day Bible Verses To Share With Your Husband

Valentine’s Day is the time of year when we celebrate love, especially the romantic love between a married couple. As you celebrate your love for one another, you can share these Valentine’s Day Bible verses with your hubby too!

Be sure to check out the gift ideas that go along with the Valentine’s Day Bible verses. Maybe you will find a new gift idea to try for Valentine’s Day this year. 🙂

 

1 John 4:19

We love because He first loved us.

Because God has loved us so greatly, we are able to share love with one another. More than any other relationship on earth, we get to demonstrate God’s love to our spouse. We can show grace when they are careless or thoughtful in their actions. When trials come their way, we can be encouraging them in ways that no one else is able to even imagine. Our intimate knowledge of our spouse lets us demonstrate love to them in selfless ways every day-day in and day out-for an entire lifetime.

When we find ourselves not feeling like loving our husband, God shows us how to choose to love in spite of a lack of emotions. Because God loved us while we were still sinners and not even looking for His love, we can pass along love to another sinner before they even know they need it.

Valentine’s Day Gift Idea To Go With This Bible Verse

Make a couples prayer journal to share with your husband. Write down prayer requests and encouraging Bible verses and keep it somewhere easy to grab. When you have a free moment, lift up your husband’s prayer requests to God.

If your husband, has no interest in this, don’t fret. Simply keep a private journal where you can pray specific Scriptures over your husband and his needs. God desires to work in your husband’s life. Remember to quietly love and serve your husband and pray for him. Let God do the work of transforming his heart.

If you husband is willing to do this together, be sure that you let him take the lead on how it looks. Be flexible and willing to hear his ideas. Maybe he might want you two to pray about your prayer requests together while you take evening walks. Or he might ask that you both get up early to pray before you start your day.

Remember to let him step up and pray as the leader of your home. It is a special treat when you have a man willing to do so, so be sure that you encourage him!

 

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.

Yes, 1 Corinthians 13 is a commonly quoted chapter. It is for good reason! While the rest of the world portrays love as feelings-based, God has a different vision in mind. God wants us to choose to love, regardless of feelings. Some ways that we can demonstrate love in tangible ways is found in the Love chapter of the Bible.

If 1 Corinthians 13 leaves you feeling overwhelmed, that is okay. As a Christian wife, you are not called to love in your strength or through sheer willpower. You are commanded to love because you have the great Source of love. When you have reached the end of your powers to love, trust that the Holy Spirit will give you the power to love with God’s undying love. Trust God. He can help you love your husband beyond your own human abilities or capacities for love.

Valentine’s Day Gift Idea To Go With These Verses

When you share these Valentine’s Day Bible verses with your husband, consider making a list of all the ways he lives out this kind of love to you.

For example, “Love is kind. You are kind to me when you consistently help unload the dishwasher in the morning before work.” Make sure you are thanking him genuinely. Focus on the good that he already does, not on what needs improvement.

Take time to thank you husband very specifically for all the ways he demonstrates love to you in the practical, nitty-gritty, daily life stuff. Those are all times when love is choice that he has had to make. Let him know how grateful you are. He will appreciate being noticed for his little and big sacrifices!

 

1 John 3:18

Let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

Love is not just pretty words shared in a romantic way. Rather, love is an action. Love is shown through truthful words and intentional actions.

Everyone knows that person that love to flatter or “kiss up” to someone else. There words are fake. Don’t love through shallow words. Back up words that you say to your husband with actions. Live out the love that you claim to have for your spouse.

Valentine’s Day Gift Idea To Go With This Verse

Share these Valentine’s Day Bible verses with your spouse along with some coupons for him to redeem in the future. If you husband hates yard work, have a coupon for a “Yard Work Free Weekend.”

Realize he might not ever grab the coupon. Use the coupons as reminders to yourself to help him in the future. Once in a while grab the coupon book and pull out a coupon to complete. For instance, it is the fall and your hubby is dreading raking leaves. Grab the coupon for yard work and go complete the yard work. Leave the completed coupon and a little love note written to him somewhere easy for him to find.

The best part about this gift is it gives you natural ideas on how to continue to show him love throughout the year!

 

Song of Solomon 1:2

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!

Our husbands tend to be more excited about the physical part of the married relationship. It doesn’t have to be that way.

When you share this verse with your husband, genuinely remind him how much you appreciate the sex life that you share as a married couple. Put to words some of your favorite ways that he woes you physically. Most husbands would kill to know what their wives love about the physical side of marriage. Don’t leave him guessing!

Follow the example in verse above and share some of your favorite physical aspects of your sex life and your marriage. Your husband will be grateful to know better how to serve you physically and you might be surprised by what he shares back in return.

Gift Idea To Go With These Valentine’s Day Bible Verses

Check you budget and if possible, purchase a new sexy outfit that your husband would find attractive. Perhaps even pick a few from Amazon and give him options of ones that you know you would both like.

If it is not in your budget to buy new, consider checking the back of your closet. Perhaps there are some nice clothes tucked to the back that haven’t come out since you had kids. Pull those out and relive some old memories while still getting dressed up for your hubby.

And you can always include a little pack of your husband’s favorite breath mints for a humorous touch to a gift with this verse. 🙂

 

Romans 12:9

Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.

As we progress through years of marriage it can become easier to dwell on the evil that affects our marriage.

We are two fallen sinners married to one another. Often, we hurt one another unintentionally. We are careless and rude and forgetful at times. Sometimes, we even intentionally plot to “get back” at one another over past wrongs. More than anything, we discover that our spouse does not and can not live up to our expectations.

When we find ourselves crushed by the real life aspects of marriage, it can be disheartening. Often that leave us tangling with our spouse’s sin nature and our own sin nature. We wonder how we can move on from rough patches.

As you share with your husband Romans 12:9, do so with a prayer that you can both learn to love one another in a genuine manner. Pray that God can help you choose to love even when neither of you feel like it. Write your prayer for your husband and share it with him along with these verses. Together with God, you and your husband can fight the evil that attacks your marriage and hold fast to the good that God has blessed you with.

Gift Idea For These Valentine’s Day Bible Verses

Take a Husband/Wife Five Love Languages quiz to determine your love languages. Over a dinner date, talk about ways that you can best show love to each other. Be sure to point out ways that your husband already does this well. For instance, if you are an Acts of Service gal, thank him for all the times he serves you by emptying the dishwasher of the clean dishes.

If you are looking for more ideas to help you love each other well in the different love languages, grab a copy of The 5 Love Languages to read together. Make a concerted effort to fill each other up with the loving actions that mean the most to each other. In this way, you will be learning to think less of yourself and more of the other. That is a precious gift that can last long past the February 14th holiday.

Proverbs 5:18-19

May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer—may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love.

Marriage is often attacked by discontentment. We grow discontent with our husbands over something, they grow discontent with us over something. As time marches on, we forget to enjoy each other. We forget to be best friends. Most of all, we forget that we actually are attracted to each other!

Once upon a time, when we were first married, we couldn’t keep our hands off of each other. Dressing up to please the other spouse was not a problem. Watching our diet so we could be a healthy weight for each other wasn’t a chore that we dreaded. In fact, we probably acted down right crazy when we were young lovers. (Personally, I remember driving an hour to meet my fiance for a 30 minute lunch just because I could!)

When we share this Bible verse with our husband, include some of your favorite stories about when you first met and your engagement and early years of marriage. Let this Valentine’s Day be a time to look back on the core of what attracted you two together in the first place!

Gift Idea To Go With These Valentine’s Day Bible Verses

Again, if your budget allows, set up childcare for overnight and book a hotel room for the two of you. Get away for a special time together. Relive your favorite moments together. Look at old photos, maybe go eat out in your old favorite restaurant. Take time to look back and look forward to what is coming up. Share your dreams for the future that you have together, especially your future for once the kids have left the house and you can focus on each other more.

Perhaps you can’t find childcare or enough money for a hotel room. That is okay too! Keep it simple. Get the kids to bed early and have a special in-home date night. Maybe cook something special to share. Spend time snuggling and reliving your stories and dreaming while on your own couch. Of course, you can always end the evening together enjoying each other physically too!
