Married couples know that faithfulness is a key ingredient of genuine love.
Although we often associate faithfulness with sexual fidelity, faithful love is in reality much broader. Examples of this type of love may be found between friends who have weathered a storm together or grandparents who love a wayward grandchild unconditionally. Times of crisis push humans to the wall, enabling us to discover how strong or how weak our love really is. When I miscarried a baby, my husband was lovingly present to me, despite his own disappointment, pain, and grief. He did not abandon me.
