God Wants More for Our Marriages

“In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” 1 JOHN 4:10-

Ponder this When you were dating, you likely had a list of desires in another person. You thought, “I want somebody good-looking or beautiful. I want somebody who thinks I’m funny. I want somebody with a good personality. I want somebody with certain physical attributes and perhaps certain intellectual gifts; somebody who can make me feel good.”

And the time comes when you finally say to that young lady or that young man, “I love you.” That may be true, but some people say this to mean, “I want you because you meet a particular need in my life.” That kind of love is not the love God is talking about that binds husbands and wives together. As a matter of fact, that kind of love is very conditional.

And if those are the reasons you got married—because of somebody’s charm or beauty—then your marriage is in danger. Now I’m not saying charm, wit, and beauty are not important, but those things fade.Can you see how dangerous that kind of conditional love is to a marriage?

It is rooted in self. God calls us to more. What is the difference between unconditional love and conditional love?What are some ways we tend to love people conditionally? Practice ThisThank someone who has shown you unconditional love.
