"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful."
This passage is read at weddings so often that it can lose its edge, but read it again as a checklist for a Tuesday, not a ceremony. Patient with the same old habit. Kind after a long day. Not keeping a mental ledger of who did what last. Marriage is not sustained by the feeling you had on your wedding day — it's sustained by choosing this list, again, this evening. Pick one line above and let it shape one conversation today.
Father, grow in me the patient, unresentful love You describe here. Let my marriage reflect Your love, not just my mood. Amen.
