Love In Action {Building Marriage}

“The essence of marriage is a sacrificial commitment to the good of the other. That means that love is more fundamentally action than emotion.”

~Tim Keller

This is something that I don’t think you can hear too many times. :)

Our culture is one of instant gratification. We base so much of our decisions on how we feel, whether good or bad. We are used to things being disposable, replaceable, and temporary.

In a world saturated with Disney fairytales and unrealistic rom-coms, it’s hard to see love as a verb instead of an adjective.

Love, and marriage as a result, are a commitment. By making this commitment, we are promising to put love into action every day of our lives, regardless of which way our emotions of the day might swing.

What is one way you can remind yourself of your commitment to showing your spouse love through action when your emotions are taking a roller coaster ride?
