"MISSING INGREDIENT-PART 2-LOVE" By:Pastor Matt Frayer

  I Corinthians 13:8 "charity never faileth..."
We know the word "charity" is a deeper part of love.  Does love end?  Do you wake up one morning and just decide, I don't love my wife?  I would have to lean to the word no.  I will say that lust is temporary, but love is eternal.

Men, how many times do you say I love you to your wife?  It is important to do this every single day of your marriage.  My in-laws have been married for almost 55 yrs.  They love each other unconditionally. 

Do you disagree or argue once in a while, well of course.  But should we stop loving her because she disagrees?  That is not how love works.If love is missing, your marriage will not last.

My love for Rena grows deeper each and every day.  Our love becomes stronger.  The Bible tells me that my love must be Christ-like.  Ephesians 5:25, "husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved the church, and gave himself for it." 

In closing, what if Christ's love was like our love sometimes.  Well, today I don't love her but tomorrow I will, It makes no sense.  Our Savior, Jesus Christ, loves us unconditionally (no matter what).  If His love never fails, then why should ours?

  1. i would say love is often never associated with loyalty when it come to marriage. for example look how loyal God has been to mankind.
