Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes always perseveres....
Love never fails.

The love that God has given us is such a supernatural blessing. I read in a book the other day that in a marriage, at some point, you will have to die to self in order to hold that thing together. And that love that comes from the flesh will eventually run out. You will run dry. We are not designed by God to love without Him. He IS LOVE! Without God as the source, love runs dry.

Only a supernatural source of life and love can survive the attacks against marriages today. God has been so good and gentle....I'm amazed at all the love that Joe and I have for each other that's always been there. and it's grown over the last 13 years. He's worth it, what we have together is worth it. He's my other half, my soul mate, we just fit together like hot chocolate and pumpkin pie. There's no other fit. What God has joined together, let man not separate.....

Love always protects
always hopes
always trusts
always perseveres

Before we married, Brian was really searching for a wife and kept seeing his friends' marriages in bad shape, even divorces after year 1. The Lord started to show him "die to self" and that it was the only way for marriage to really gel. He had it tattooed on his arm. We don't always walk it out, but things are much better when we at least try to. I think it's profound that the Lord showed you the exact same words.

Cool! The beauty of not being able to walk it out is that God's perfected in our weakness. Now if only i could really grasp that truth!.....
