Certainly LOVE is a basic and vital factor in the marriage relationship, but as a feeling only it cannot be trusted, for it is as fickle as the weather. The solid element of love is not in the feeling, although how pleasant that is; it is rather in love worked out, made evident by acts not just emotions; love lived out over ups and downs; treasured and believed in through storms as well as balmy weather.
The feelings of LOVE are the beginnings of love, but the solid relationship OF love are built on actions, faithfulness and in the end courage and endurance. True love grows and binds together something much loftier than the sapling of fresh, new, spring love.
Treasure the Spring of Love,
Bask in the Bountiful Summer of Love,
Be refreshed by the Changes of the
Autumn of Love,
Hold on to the Faith of Love in the Winter,
And Always Believe in the Hope of the Lasting
Spring of Love, appearing sometimes after
A long, white, deep snow.
