And yet it is a little bit like the romance situation where the partner says 'if I have to tell you what would be pleasing, it ruins it.' There has to be some spontaneity to it, some passion. I don't think for ex, that Christ gave the Rich Young Ruler an exact formula for all people (ie works). He was saying 'your heart has to be completely different from the calculating person you are now.' Freely you have recieved, therefore give freely.

I'll pick one--marriage (Gen. 2:18–24, Matt. 19:6).
You don't want to approach a holy God to whom you will give an account (1 Pe 4:5) having treated your spouse like garbage (Re 7:9, Heb 10:27). You and your spouse are "heirs together of the grace of life" (1 Pe 3:7). If you're some clown who shows up: I'm here for my grace now;
opcorn: Fire of life + fire of life + consuming fire = grace. Fire of life - fire of life = consuming fire (1 Jn 4:20).
Don't enter into a covenant unless you are willing to go the distance. The denial of marriage is a sign of the end time (Jer 16:2). Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall (Pr 16:18).
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Th 5:4–9).
A land of misery and darkness, where the shadow of death, and no order, but everlasting horror dwelleth (Jb 10:22, D-RB).
Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it (Ps 127:1).
The Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning (Jas 1:17).
Where are your gods that you have made for yourselves? Let them arise if they can save you in the time of your trouble (Je 2:28).
In the morning you shall say, ‘Oh, that it were evening!’ And at evening you shall say, ‘Oh, that it were morning!’ because of the fear which terrifies your heart, and because of the sight which your eyes see (Dt 28:67).

The mystery was the analogy, not marriage itself...
