Marriage as daily self-giving

Scripture

Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

1 Corinthians 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

1 Corinthians 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

• Ephesians 5:25
• 1 Corinthians 13:4-5
• Ephesians 4:32

Reflection

The Bible frames marriage as covenant love that serves rather than consumes.

Prayer

Lord, help me love this person with patience and grace today.

Pause and consider

Choose one small act of kindness and do it without asking for credit.
