About This Quote

The central truth that serves as the platform for Christian marriage — and for all Christian relationships — is that in Christ we are at every moment eternally loved and genuinely significant. In a sense, our lives are a continual journey of learning how to love each other better. We are continually falling in love with the person we married. The most important thing that we can do is not to fall away from each other even when we feel unloved. In this way, we will walk together forever.
