STOP AND THINK – Success in marriage depends on being able, when you get over being in love, to really love. (Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of the 32nd president of the United States)
Love is the popular theme of music, books, movies, TV shows, and all kinds of communications. But, as Mrs. Roosevelt suggests, that romantic feeling of newlyweds doesn’t last forever. Then, the test really begins. It’s not an emotion so much as a commitment to act toward your spouse in his or her best interest. That can be romantic, too.
[Love] always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (1 Corinthians 13:70)
