Top Highlights
“Therefore the wise husband who truly loves his wife will maturely shoulder his responsibilities. The wise wife who truly loves her husband will not demand her rights when he asks something of her. If she maturely loves her husband, she will not need to try to defend her self-image. She will seek to please. In fact she will try to please her husband creatively and do his will, even before he asks—just as the husband will look for creative ways to express his love to her, even before she shows any obvious need for reassurance.” (source)
“Commitment is the bond; the feeling of love is the result. The feeling comes because of the fact of commitment through every changing circumstance.” (source)
“Agape love is unconditional and irrevocable. God chose to love us first, before we gave Him our love in return, or even knew who He is. Agape love gives without measuring the cost or seeking personal advantage.” (source)
“The sex relationship God had designed for them brought the blessings of companionship, unity, and delight—and note that this was some time before the command to bear children was given (Gen. 3:16).” (source)
“Because the relationship is specifically designed to illustrate God’s unending love for His people, sexual intercourse must be experienced in the context of a permanent, giving commitment. Anything less shortchanges those involved.” (source)
