No human being can live up to that role. No human being can supply all of our needs. The Bible calls us to love God first, and then use the love He gives us to love others, including our spouse. Putting our spouse second to God is the most loving thing we can do. That is closer to selfishness than to the kind of universal love that the true God offers.
True love is possible only in marriage or in a sexual relationship .
The kind of love described on the back cover of this magazine is not limited to people in a sexual relationship. There is no point in staying in a loveless marriage . This is the folly of living at the whim of emotions and letting feelings make decisions. Love is never selfish. If my marriage is loveless, then I should ask why I am not bringing love into it.
