Your Question:
When love is put to the test, what remains?
Answer:
When love is put to the test, what remains? In my experience as a husband and father, I've seen that love is not just a feeling, but a responsibility that requires effort and commitment. When faced with challenges and difficulties, it's easy to let love fade away, but true love perseveres and endures. As a pastor, I've seen many couples struggle with the test of love, and it's often the small, everyday moments that reveal the true nature of their relationship. Do they choose to prioritize each other's needs and well-being, or do they let selfishness and pride get in the way? Love is not just a feeling, but a choice, and it's in those moments of choice that we discover what truly remains. In my own marriage, my wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and we've had our fair share of ups and downs. But through it all, our love for each other has remained strong, not because it's always easy, but because we've chosen to prioritize each other and our relationship. And I believe that's what remains when love is put to the test: not just feelings, but a deep and abiding commitment to one another, even in the toughest of times.
