Love and Marriage

The basis of marriage is not love. What is the greatest reason for marrying someone?

We were never meant to get from each other but were meant to get from God and to give to each other.

Invalid causes of divorce are based on what we want out of the marriage. We go into the marriage to satisfy our will, to have our purposes fulfilled.

God has always encouraged men and women to respect each other, to look up to each other and to treasure each other.

The purpose of marriage is not for your happiness and comfort. Marriage is not for getting but for giving which is the heart of true love.

Love is giving, it's not getting. Marriage is for fellowship, for real love, real intimacy, for interaction in every way so you really know each other.

The physical expression of love in a marriage is the culmination of a complete spiritual, mental, emotional and volitional union that has already made you as one.

If we love God with all our being we are filled with his love for one another and do not need marriage for love but marry or not as guided by God.
