A lady asked me, "How did I stay married to one man so long?" My response to her was, well the short version is "it's all God". The longer version is as follows.
Marriage is a commitment; not a feeling. It don't matter how you feel. You gotta stay even when you don't feel no love. Stay until the love comes back. If you are not committed then you ain't gonna make it.
The important thing to understand is that God looks at a marriage as an example of the perfect relationship between Jesus and mankind. Jesus gave His life out of love for His bride. It is God’s Will that a husband and wife love each other with the self-sacrificing, all-consuming, unconditional love that He has for us.
"Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church—a love marked by giving, not getting. Christ’s love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her, dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness. And that is how husbands ought to love their wives. They’re really doing themselves a favor—since they’re already “one” in marriage." Ephesians 5:25-28
