PONDER THAT!
Marriage is a special union built on unconditional love…UNCONDITIONAL LOVE… Hmmmm! Lets take a minute to break that word down to its truest description.
- The word unconditional is an adjective meaning not limited by conditions; absolute.
- The word love is a noun with several meanings, but the most relevant for this content would be, a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
Is your love conditional? What circumstances would make you pack your bags and sign those papers?
Far too often I hear married individuals say “I love my wife/husband, but if she/he (FILL IN THE BLANK). I’m out!” What’s your blank? The obvious, and most popular, response would be cheating. But, we know that life brings along other obstacles that have you rethinking your marriage status. In marriage, we are put through challenging circumstances as a way to show us how to love our spouses the way God loves us, UNCONDITIONALLY.
Interesting..I believe that true love is unconditional. My love for my fiance is unconditional - which is why making the right choice in who to marry is key. Just saying....
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the hardest things to do, love unconditionally, for most because it means you have to be self-less. I'm a work in progress. Great post!
ReplyDeleteLove in marriage is conditional, the vows are the conditions of the contract. When the vows are understood and upheld by the parties involved and God is in the union then its works. At least it does for my marriage and we've been married 10 years.
