12 Days To A Love That Lastsಮಾದರಿ

Faith
 

We're more than halfway through this scripture plan and we've come to what may be the most impactful day yet:
 

We're talking about faith.
 

Not just the act of faith, which is often just something we say when we're talking about believing that God will act on our behalf. No, we're talking about your actual faith – what you believe about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, scripture, church… all of it.
 

Faith is meant to be a major unifier, but all too often in a marriage it can wind up becoming divisive. We can very easily lose sight of the basics and get caught up in arguments about what are actually minor things.
 

This is what you must guard against in your marriage. A German theologian in the 1600s famously wrote that Christians should have, "Unity in what is essential, liberty in nonessentials, and in all things charity."
 

This is a good way to approach faith in your marriage. Agree on the basics, let the minor things alone, and treat every aspect of your relationship with charity.
 

This is how you build a love that lasts – by building it on a strong faith foundation that holds the important things tightly and everything else loosely.
