Commitment, value and love set the tone for a complete and successful marriage. Marriage isn’t just about saying “I do” on a beautiful day; it’s about saying “I will” every single day after that. Commitment is the quiet promise we make when no one is watching. It’s choosing your spouse even when life feels heavy, when the sparks appear to go out, and when challenges arise. It isn’t about perfection; it’s about persistence.
Valuing your marriage means seeing your spouse as more than a role, more than a partner, a parent, or a provider. It’s recognizing their worth as a person, appreciating their dreams, and respecting their individuality. When we value each other deeply, we create a safe space where both can grow without fear of judgment. It’s a place of comfort.
And then there is love, the heartbeat of it all. Love isn’t just the butterflies at the beginning; it’s the rhythm that continues and carries you through the years. It’s in the small gestures like sharing a hot cup of coffee together, a reassuring smile that says, “I’m right here”, a comforting holding of the hands held during hard times. Love is active, intentional, and often quiet, but it’s always powerful. It’s knowing you have someone there without the need to question it.
Marriage thrives when these three, commitment, value, and love, work together. They’re not just words; they’re choices we make every day. And when we do, we build something that lasts, something that feels like home.
Matthew 6:21 “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
