I know that it isn't always easy for her. I remember hearing a story about a preacher's wife who was home with the children while her husband was attending another late meeting. While she put her youngest to bed, they prayed their usual prayer for such occasions, which included a request that God would keep the boy's father safe as he drove home.
Love is patient and kind, but it is also hard work.
Still, love is God's way. The Bible, especially the New Testament, makes that abundantly clear. But probably the most familiar Biblical passage concerning love is the one we read today from 1 Corinthians. Brides and grooms choose it to be read at weddings all the time, and it is very appropriate. But that's not why they choose it.
