Love is the key
Now these three remain: Faith, Hope and Love
But the Greatest is Love
1Corinthians 13:13
Love is fundamental to the success of your marriage. Not your current feelings or romance or sexual satisfaction. Not a stronger financial standing or even your spouse's behavior. All these can circumstantially change, and they will. But when storms rise and conditions worsen, 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 mast 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 has 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 your marriage hinges on love.
