True love isn't just poetry or feeling—it’s the gritty, everyday choice to show up with patience, kindness, and grace. When Paul describes love in 1 Corinthians 13, he gives us a blueprint not just for marriage but for Christlike living. Marriage is where these words are tested most. The real test of “love never fails” comes when emotions run dry, when forgiveness is hard, or when expectations clash. Godly couples don’t just talk about love—they walk it out, reflecting Jesus to their spouse, children, and the world. Jesus never gave up on us. That same sacrificial, enduring love is what builds a marriage that not only survives, but thrives—and points others to the cross.
