Marriage Tip Monday

Love in marriage should be given unselfishly and unconditionally.  This is easier said than done, but in the end, it's a choice - we choose to love because we've made a covenant with our spouse that says, "I do" despite the circumstance, or a bad attitude, or a rough day.  "If you're loving your spouse only to get love in return, that's not love, that's trading."  - Gary Thomas.  Trading is for baseball cards & recipes...in your marriage, choose to give love based on your promise, not your expectations.  This kind of love sets you free!
