Your Question:
When love is put to the test, what remains?
Answer:
As I reflect on the question, "When love is put to the test, what remains?" I'm reminded of the importance of love in our relationships, particularly in marriage. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and I can attest that love is not just a feeling, but a choice we make every day. When faced with challenges and difficulties, love is what holds us together. It's the foundation upon which our relationship is built. In my experience as a pastor, I've seen many couples struggle to maintain their love for each other when faced with trials and tribulations. But I've also seen the power of love to overcome even the greatest of challenges. When love is put to the test, what remains is a deep and abiding commitment to one another. It's a commitment that goes beyond feelings and emotions, and is rooted in a desire to serve and care for one another. As I look at my own family, I'm reminded of the importance of love in our relationships. My son Joshua and daughter Rebecca are growing up to be wonderful young people, and I'm grateful for the love that Susan and I have for them. When love is put to the test, what remains is a sense of responsibility and duty to one another. It's a love that is not based on feelings, but on a commitment to care for and serve one another, even when it's difficult.
