Why Modern Love Won’t Make Your Marriage Last, but THIS Will…

When we marry, we vow–or commit–to love our spouse for all the days of our lives.  When we have kids, we are committed to raising our kids to the best of our ability and to never give up on them, no matter what.  In friendships, we are committed to being there for our friends in times of need and protecting their reputations.  As Christians, we show our love and commitment to Christ by praying, reading the Word, and doing what He’s called us to do the very best we can.

True love–God-designed love–requires commitment.

When life is hard and our relationship seems to be more difficult than usual, our feelings will change.  But, our commitment can be unwavering when we CHOOSE to stay committed through thick and thin.

That is precisely why love–as the world knows it and defines it–is not enough.  

But, love–as God designed it and defines it–IS.  

We can’t choose our feelings.  We’re human.  But, we can choose to love someone enough to be committed to him/her.

This is how marriage is supposed to work.  When both partners choose to love each other by staying fully committed to one another on a daily basis, the marriage will thrive.  Let’s strive for THAT kind of love, Friends; a love and a commitment that will never fail.
