“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,” Ep525-26 NIV
It has been said that the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. Such words are aptly spoken in this day of divorce. I think one of the most important lessons that we learn from Christ is to love someone even when we don’t like them. The pledge of marriage promises to do just that. We troth ourselves to another for better or for worse. This many times, will mean that we stay with someone when we would rather be somewhere else.
Marriage is the pledge, that regardless of how we feel, we will always seek and do what is best for our mate. I will love you even when I don’t like you. At times we must ignore how we feel, if we are to truly love someone. We give ourselves up for them, loving by our actions and all the while we hope and pray that where our treasure is, our heart will follow. He did after all, assure us that it would. 6/19/07 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
