... maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by (in Christian marriages) the grace which both partners ask, and receive, from God.” C. S. Lewis
“May your love abound more and more...” Philippians 1
When people divorce it is usually because they have fallen out of love. What they mean is that they no longer have the feelings they had when they started out. A friend of mine is fond of saying that it is not wise to make a permanent decision in a temporary state of mind. Feelings change. Hence marriages based on feelings usually stop working when the feelings do. This kind of marriage is not marriage at all. True marriage is a life long commitment that says I will never stop loving you, that is, I will never stop looking after your best interest.. This kind of love says, “I am not going somewhere even when the weather changes.” “I will always work for your highest good.” Conversations Within ts 2/15/2012 (Jax, FL)
Just me trying to be honest with God.
