The truth is, love is a decision and not just a feeling. It is selfless, sacrificial, and transformational.

no one enjoys being around a rude person.

He who is slow to anger has great understanding,

If your spouse offends you, do you quickly retaliate,

So when it’s all said and done, the romance, intimacy, and enjoyment of your marriage is greatly dependent upon your mutual commitment to allow no unforgiveness to exist between the two of you. Great marriages are not produced by people who never hurt each other, only by people who daily choose to keep “no record of wrongs” (1 Corinthians 13:5).

I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine. (Song of Solomon 6:3)
