Here is an insert from book I read called ‘The Love Dare’ By Alex Kendrick
Love is fundamental to the success of your marriage, Not your current feeling of romance or sexual satisfaction. Not a stronger financial standing or even your spouse’s behavior. All of these can circumstantially change, and they will. But when the storms rise and conditions worsen, a love-driven marriages endure and work through even the toughest issues without giving up.
When marriages crumble, couples often claim that it was due to their irreconcilable differences. But genuine love is a master at reconciliation. When love takes over, it compels us to humbly apologize and take full responsibility for our failures. Then to fully forgive where our spouse have failed us. Over and over again.
Resilient marriages are built on honesty, respect, commitment, forgiveness, and endurance. And love constantly inspires all of these things to grow and thrive within us.
Though love reaches far beyond marriage, it is a God-given key to its success. You can strip away most of the pleasures you and your spouse hold together, but you marriage hinges on love.
What I love most about this insert is that it speaks volumes about love. Love DOES conquer all. That’s what my husband and I believe. No matter what problems you have with your spouse , Love is what keeps you connected and together. Love will lead you to put your spouse first. Love is patient and it is kind.
