Your Question:
How do we prioritize love when life gets busy?
Answer:
As a pastor and a husband, I've learned that prioritizing love in our busy lives requires intentional effort. Jesus taught us that true love involves sacrifice, as seen in his statement, "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). This means that our love for our spouses and children should be willing to make sacrifices, even if it means putting their needs before our own. In my own marriage, I've come to realize that prioritizing love means being willing to slow down and consider my wife's and children's opinions and needs. As the Bible says, "Love is patient" (1 Corinthians 13:4). This means being patient with each other's flaws and imperfections, and being willing to compromise when necessary. It's not always easy, but it's essential for building a strong and loving relationship. For me, prioritizing love means making time for my family and prioritizing our relationship above other things. As the Bible says, "Love is kind" (1 Corinthians 13:4). This means being kind and considerate of each other's feelings and needs, even when it's difficult. It's not about being perfect, but about being willing to make sacrifices and put each other first. By doing so, we can build a strong and loving relationship that brings joy and happiness to both of us.
