10 Must-Haves Your Marriage Can’t Live Without

1.  Love

This word gets tossed around a lot.  In marriage, love takes on a deeper meaning than the love we feel for shoes or animals.  We pledge our undying love to each other on our wedding day.  It carries great weight with it.  Love requires commitment — not just a feeling, and it is rooted in truth and transparency.  Love is intentional.  We can’t decide to love our spouse one day and not the next.  It takes work just like tending to a garden.  Love is an action that both partners must choose to do daily.
