Cues to Your Treasures

We give our spouse (and everyone else) visual cues about what’s important to us. Sometimes those cues translate to what we wear.

Have you thought about the cues you provide?

3 Things – When this initial post began it had 3 points – and was much too long.

So I divided it into three parts. This is the last post out of three.

Do you look like you’re married?
Are you highlighting what he/she enjoys?
What are your cues?

Part 3: What are your cues?

We talked about wedding rings in post #1. That’s jewelry. And decisions on how we adorn our beautiful bits to attract our spouse in post #2. That’s about clothing. This post is just a bit more on those two…

What other jewelry do you wear – does it have a significance beyond it’s beauty/quirkiness/style?

I’m going to confess – I rarely wear jewelry.

I think the jewelry gene skipped a generation and went directly from my mother to my daughter. I have my wedding rings, a ring with my family birthstones, and a gold chain. Not exciting at all.

However. I recently wore a different necklace. It’s a silver circular disk with the words, “No greater Love” inscribed so the detail can be felt with the fingertips, along with a gold cross.

This piece of jewelry has influenced me. I find myself touching the raised letters with my fingertips, and it reminds me each time of how much Jesus loved – loves – me. My husband noticed it and so have others others.

The wording refers to Christ’s sacrifice – and the Bible verse John 15:13. I can’t see the wording because it’s around my neck, but I know others have noticed. They’ve commented.

Perhaps you already wear a piece of jewelry which reminds you of your walk with Christ, so what I’m revealing is old hat to you… but maybe not.

And then there are less subtle way to give a cue…

I’ve seen people wearing:

team sport shirts, caps, socks, gym bags etc.
items with the flag of the country (my son’s socks)
earrings in the shape of a state. (when we lived in Texas I DID see people wearing those state shaped earrings – honestly!)
“I Love my Husband” t-shirts
