Love Conquered Her Weight
IllustrationStory★★★★THERE was a sister in the church who was battling with her weight. She had tried every diet known to man but her weight kept fluctuating up and down.
A few months passed without me seeing her at church. One Sunday, I happened to see her after service and I was shocked.
She had virtually lost all of the weight she had fought for so long to shed. Her solution? She met a man and fell in love! She explained to me that she knew the man she had been dating was the man she was going to marry and she wanted to look good in her wedding dress.
The solution to her problem wasn’t a rule-based approach to eating less. She was able to conquer in a short amount of time what had plagued her for years because she had developed a relationship and was seeking his pleasure. There’s power in intimacy. There’s power in relationship.
The point
A woman who struggled with her weight for years loses it quickly after falling in love, illustrating how the motivation of intimate relationship can transform us more powerfully than rules and willpower.
