Old timers are usually quick to say that marriage is not easy and requires a lot of work if it is going to be a success. Even if you have the best of partners you must still make a daily choice to love her (or him). Paul helps us know what real love is in 1 Corinthians 13. In this passage the apostle helps us understand love is much more than a goofy feeling in the pit of our stomach; love is a real, intentional choice and involves action! Be intentional and make the choice to love and serve your spouse today. God will bless you and your marriage when you put both He and your spouse ahead of yourself!
James

Great book! We went over some of what is in it when we did our pre-marital counseling.
