Love is unconditional.
Love is a choice.
God's love is a choice.
We love because God first loved us (1 John 4:19).
The reason for loving my wife should not be based on something to do with her qualities.
Reason: when those qualities suddenly or gradually disappear, the basis for love is over!
The only way love can last a lifetime is if it is unconditional.
Unconditional love is not determined by the one being loved but rather by the one choosing to love.
This love is:
"In sickness and health" love;
"For richer or poorer" love;
"For better or worse" love.
This is true love - agape.
This is God's kind of love (1 John 4:10).
Love is not based on feelings or circumstances but on commitment.
This is love that "bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things" (1 Cor. 13:7).
I dare to no longer say to my wife, "I love you because ..." Instead I will say, "I love you, period!"
