I heard from one of the wedding that I attended and the officiating minister asked the bridegroom and the bride, "How do you call each other as your endearment?". They answered both, "honey". So the officiating minister shared insights according to their answer.
He said this way, "honey" is sweet, it's natural, the sweetness will not fade. It won't change. It won't be spoiled. In the same manner, when you call your husband as "honey" see to it that you will not change, the love and sweetness that you have for each other won't fade, it won't change and or grow cold but it should remain the same just like the honey.
Each must be in union with God through Christ as God is the author of love. Without God in the marriage, it would be impossible to keep the vows of love for each other since the natural tendencies of human being is to shun every indifferences. Each must learn to fully accept who he is or who she is and embrace the fullness of his/her being.
The greatest commandment the Lord Jesus taught us is to "Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40
