Here are some ways that love lasts...
1. Make a Covenant commitment.
You only need a commitment when you don;’t like what you are doing.
There will be days in your marriage that you will not want to be doing it.
This takes the option of divorce out of the equation.
2. Celebrate differences.
Men and women are different.
Dispel the compatibility myth.
You don’t need to be married to yourself.
She’s hot, your cold; She’s looking for Halmark, You’re looking for ESPN;
When Kathy says I don’t have anything to wear, it means she wants to shop for a new outfit.
When I say I don’t have anything to wear, it means all my clothes are dirty.
We celebrate the fact that we are different because together we are the complete package.
3. Work on communication.
Avg. 4 min per day in meaningful communication.
Avg woman 30,000 words Avg.
Man 15,000
Make sure you communicate well.
Men - 4 most romantic words…
and then what happened?
4. Feed the Romance.
It’s not the fire places fault if there is no fire in it.
Some of ya’ll … the last time you said turn out the lights and lock the door was when his parents showed up in the driveway.
5. Put Jesus at the center.
In order for relationships to work, let the One who designed them define them
God defines marriage with a Word most people don’t know or understands.
Covenant Commitment
Mal 2:13-
Jesus says this is the relationship he has with us…
Luke
Covenant Relationship is sealed by blood.
In a covenant relationship we are in a blood relationship.
Relationship Commitment isn’t needed while everything is going great.
Covenant is based on mutual commitment.
It means you are willing to be miserable while you work it out.
Contract is based on distrust.
Covenant surrenders rights and assumes responsibility.
Contract protects rights and shirks responsibility.
Covenant has the interest of the other in mind.
the greatest relationship in the world is where 2 servants are in love.
The worst relationship in the world is where 2 Masters are in love.
Contract has personal convenience in mind.
You may feel like you can’t do these… You can’t… by yourself.

Love is not a feeling, it’s a choice.
It’s amazing how many people follow their feelings.
You cannot base your life on feelings.
Love is a choice.
Love gives others what they need.
Col
You put on love.
You make a choice.
When you make the choice, God will help with the feelings.
ILL - guy that went through a divorce and withdrew for a while.
When he finally came back to church he was amazed that they seemed to love him even more.
Capacity to love comes from receiving love.
1 John
Eph 3:17
Eph 3:
Ask God to let everyone feel this
Couples - bless them
Singles - give them hope, joy, let them feel the love and support of the church
