Day 39 - Love Endures

Love never fails.
—1 Corinthians 13:8


The world has no idea what true love is anymore. This world's love is based more on lust than anything else. A perverted emotional bond of sexual tension. An ooey-gooey feeling in your stomach. And many of us have let that idea creep into our spirit, too.

Listen, no one falls in love. The problem with falling in love is that if you can fall in, you can fall out. If love is based on sexual tension - well, it should be obvious that's why a lot of marriages fail. We grow into love through a relationship. It is a connection that is made over much time. True love is a decision. True love lasts longer than good looks and is richer than the biggest bank account.

So make a decision today to truly love your wife. And make sure she knows - regardless of what happens tomorrow or 20 years from now, you're not going anywhere.


TODAY’S DARE

Spend time in personal prayer then write a letter of commitment and resolve to your wife. Take the time to do it the old school way - with pen and paper. It will be much more meaningful, as well as romantic. In your letter, tell her why you are committing to this marriage until death and that you have purposed to love her no matter what. Then leave it in a place that she will find it.
