TO THE COUPLE

In 1 Corinthian 13:4-8 The apostle Paul provides us with a beautiful description of the kind of love that a marriage needs. He writes:

Love is patience.

Love is kind

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. its not proud.

It does not dishonor others.

It's not self-seeking.

It's not easily angered.

It keeps no record of wrongs.

Loves doesn't delight in evil but rejoices with the truth..

It always protects, always trust, always hopes. always perseveres.
