Romans 12:1

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship.
Romans 12:1 (NIV)

This was written to men, and I believe that it speaks to men, as a gender... but I also believe that it speaks to men, as a species (to include women). Obvious points are to not infect your body with poisons and such, and the need for exercise is implied. But I also think there is another requirement.

As the body is filled with the spirit, it is necessary to maintain a positive spirit. Otherwise, your body is nothing but an amplifier of negativity. The point of focus here, for men and women alike, is that positive and encouraging thoughts and words are powerful and important.
Eph 4:29

Take time tonight to lift up your spouse, both verbally and in prayer. Thank God for the gift you have been given.

God bless you all!!!
