Marriage takes commitment beyond a piece of paper. Choose to love even when you don’t like each other.
Let’s be real! That’s one of the hardest things to do in marriage. You are mad and you’re still suppose to love?

A higher calling.
But ultimately, isn’t that what commitment is?
Putting in the effort and the work when you don’t want to. Remember, love is action.
In life, there is no guarantee that you will get everything you want when you want it. Yet that’s our expectations.
And we bring this into our relationships, forgetting that two are in the relationship, not just one.
You can always love yourself easier than someone else when you don’t like yourself. You adjust your actions to make you feel better.
It may be gaming for a stress relief, or eating a half-a-gallon of ice cream. Anything to make you feel better; a little love.
So why can’t we apply that to our marriages, to our relationships?
Why is it that when your spouse does something wrong, or causes you to become upset with them, you pull EVERYTHING back?
There’s no room for error, except for you.
This is real life!
But you have a choice to choose love!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Choose to love!
Love is an action. Love is patient. Love is kind. (1 Corinthians 13:4)
Love requires us to decide whether to act or not to act. Either way, you are taking action. Just one, though, lives up to what God commands of us.
“Let all you do be done in love.” ~ 1 Corinthians 16:14
And that means loving when you don’t like each other.
- Give your best to someone even when they are at their worst.
- Serve with a grateful heart. (No expectations of a return on your investment.)
- Forgive quicker and love deeper. (When you forgive quickly, your heart is free to love deeper.)
So the next time your spouse is getting under your nerves, take a moment to pause. Collect your thoughts and choose to love!
