About This Quote

To last, a marriage and family must be built on love—love for God, and love for one another. The definition of lasting is being able to last for a long time, to have the ability to endure the test of time. In this quote, Jim and Tammy Chambers explain that lasting relationships are built on love. In order for a marriage or family to survive, they need love from both parties.

This quote reminds us that relationships are built on trust and respect, not only from the beginning but also throughout the years. If a relationship is not built on love at the beginning, it will not last.
