Love is not only something God does; it's who He is. Spending time with Him can help us appreciate this aspect of God. Then His unconditional and sacrificial love can overflow into our marriages.

“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

  • When did you first know that you were in love with me?
  • What events in your life helped you better understand God’s unconditional love?
  • In what ways do you think we could work together to more effectively show God’s love to our friends and family?

It’s easy to put conditions on the love we have for others, including a spouse: “I love you because you buy me nice presents” or “I will love you as long as you make me happy.” It’s a good thing that God’s love doesn’t work that way. Love is not only something God does; it’s who He is. Spending time with Him in prayer and studying His Word help us discover and appreciate this aspect of God. Then His unconditional and sacrificial love can overflow into our marriages.
