In a marriage where the promise is fading, love translated into action can bring the brightness back into the promise. This brings us to 1 Corinthians 13. This chapter about love has no greater application than within the context of marriage. Verses 4-8 tell us what love does. As you read these verses, consider how they apply to your marriage.
Love never fails.
You might want to read this passage again. Where the word love appears, put in your name. Now ask yourself if this is how you treat your husband or your wife. This is what it means to love. They have stayed together in part because of a mutual willingness to talk, compromise, and work through their differences.
