A warm heart can touch other hearts and ignite them in the process. The Heart of Jesus not only warms, but burns. One of the endearing features of the warmhearted person is that he manifests his virtue even prior to its enactment. The virtue of warm-heartedness, like modesty, is recognized apart from its being expressed in action. This is the case with any personal feature that has warmth, whether the warmth is in the heart, the eyes, the words, the smile, or the laughter.
Marriage is a relationship that demands that the spouses warm each other's hearts.
A friend of mine went to Church and prayed that her husband would relate to her with a little more warmth. She happened to be the only person at the Church that particular evening who was not with her spouse. This made her situation all the more poignant. To feel closer to her husband, she removed her wedding ring from her finger and held it in her hand. She then offered her petition, in silence and with hope.
