The Plumbline, Gods original design for marriage.
Do you remember when you were dating?
When the feelings were warm…
When it was raining and you still showed up…
When affection came naturally?
Before marriage, feelings of love led to acts of love.
But after marriage, when the feelings fade or grow cold, many people assume love is gone.
Dr. Mukolwe puts it plainly: “Before marriage, feelings of love lead to acts of love. After marriage, acts of love restore feelings of love.”
You may say, “I’m not in love anymore.” That may describe how you feel — but it does not determine what is possible.
We are made in the image of God — spiritual beings with enduring value. Just like a dirty gold coin does not lose its worth, a spouse does not lose value because life has stained the surface.
Marriage is covenant.
Covenant requires action.
And action rekindles affection.
Which comes first in your marriage — feelings or actions?
