Your Question:
How do we prioritize love in the midst of chaos?
Answer:
As I reflect on how to prioritize love in the midst of chaos, I'm reminded of the importance of commitment in a marriage. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and through the ups and downs, we've learned that commitment is the key to a successful marriage. It's not just about feeling in love, but about choosing to love and serve each other, even when it's hard. We've had to learn to compromise and put each other's needs before our own, which has helped us grow closer and stronger. In our marriage, we've also learned to prioritize love by putting God at the center. We pray together, seek His guidance, and try to live out His teachings in our daily lives. We know that love is not just a feeling, but a responsibility that requires effort and sacrifice. When we prioritize love, we're not just thinking about our own desires, but about how we can serve and love each other, even when it's hard. This has helped us navigate the challenges of life, including the chaos that can come with raising two teenagers, Joshua and Rebecca. As I look to my marriage and my relationship with my children, I'm reminded that love is not just about feeling, but about action. It's about choosing to put others before ourselves, to listen, to forgive, and to serve. When we prioritize love, we're not just building a stronger marriage or family, but we're also building a stronger relationship with God. He is the source of our love, and when we put Him first, we're able to love others more fully and deeply.
