Couples who talk about “falling out of
love” don’t really have a grasp of what love actually means. Love, by
its very nature, isn’t a fairy tale feeling, but a commitment. Love
isn’t a story with a happy ending; love is a story with no ending." written by Dave Willis from
“Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” 1 Corinthians 13:7

wrote about 8 teachings from the Bible that can help our marriages.
Love is an unconditional commitment, not a fickle feeling is #3 on his list of Bible teachings.
Marriage equals commitment. Stick with it, make it permanent. I've heard before that unhappy couples who stay together report much higher levels of happiness and contentment in their marriage 5 years later. I've also sensed that those who divorce and remarry often realize that no marriage is perfect and if they want to stay married the second time they're going to have to work for it. Sometimes I sense a twinge of regret from those in their second marriage- that maybe it actually could have worked out the first time. Anyway, I've always been hopelessly romantic. I want everybody to get married and stay happily married. So, the words above fit my dreams for life. "Love is an unconditional commitment, not a fickle feeling."
