It's only by understanding the weight of the gospel that we fully understand the depths possible of love. This is why Christ must be at the center of your marriage.
Love aside from Christ is elusive; it's definition is subjective, self-gratifying, and soft. Christ's example of love is pure and steady, it never changes and it never will change. "...but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
WHILE we were sinners. Note that it doesn't say, "even though we once sinned." This passage is all about Jesus, his love, and his sacrifice.
When we're called to love each other like Christ, we're called to love each other "while" we're still sinners. This is true love. This means we choose love even when we're offended. It means we choose love even when we don't feel it.
May you and your spouse keep Christ at the absolute center of your marriage; and by doing so, may you experience the depths and joys that come from loving and being loved like Christ himself loves.
