It has to act. It has to be expressed not just once in awhile, but all the time. It s understanding God s love for you and then becoming His channel of love for your husband. If you are really serious about redeeming the time with your husband, rebuilding a marriage that might be crumbling, or insuring that you treasure the time you have with your husband, you will choose to love your husband with God s agape love. This kind of love isn t affected by a response or the lack of response.
Agape love is unconditional.
It s not affected by whether your husband accepts your love or rejects it. Nor is it affected by your fatigue or busyness. You determine you are going to continue to express God s love toward your husband regardless. Everything you do, everything you are, every way you respond has to be motivated by God s love. There are many ways to express love.
