Your Question:
How do we prioritize love in the midst of chaos?
Answer:
Prioritizing love in the midst of chaos is crucial for a healthy marriage. As a pastor and a husband, I've learned that love is not just a feeling, but a responsibility that requires commitment and compromise. When Susan and I were married 19 years ago, we didn't think we'd face the challenges we're facing today. But through it all, we've come to realize that love is not about getting what we want, but about giving to each other, even when it's hard. Compromise is a vital part of our marriage, and it's not just about giving in to each other's whims. It's about learning to see things from each other's perspective and finding common ground. As the Bible says, "Love is much wider in scope...it necessarily entails justice, a sense of right and wrong, and all humanity." When we prioritize love, we're not just thinking about our own desires, but about what's best for the other person. This requires communication, empathy, and a willingness to put each other's needs before our own. In the midst of chaos, it's easy to get caught up in our own desires and lose sight of what's truly important. But when we prioritize love, we're reminded that our marriage is not just about us, but about serving each other and God. As I pray for Susan and me, I pray that we'll continue to prioritize love, even when it's hard. I pray that we'll be able to overlook each other's faults and weaknesses, and that our commitment to each other will grow stronger and more passionate every day.
