Many marriages and families are struggling or falling apart because husbands and wives have lost sight of how to love one another honestly. Broken relationships are not just about misunderstandings but also about not following the kind of love God designed for us to live out. When love is missing, it opens the door for negativity, bitterness, and even destruction to creep into our homes.
But the good news is that God shows us what real love looks like. His love is unselfish, patient, kind, and doesn't give up (1 Corinthians 13:4-8). The ultimate example of love is in Jesus, who gave His life so we could have forgiveness and a new start (John 3:16). This kind of love isn't just for special people—it's possible for everyone who chooses to walk in it.
You're not alone if you've messed up or don't know how to love this way. We've all fallen short. The good news is that you can turn things around. God gives you a clear path to make things right. First, take an honest look at where things went wrong. Then, admit your mistakes, and finally, commit to doing the things that build love and trust, just like you may have done at the start of your relationship (Revelation 2:4-5).
This isn't about trying harder alone but letting God help you. When you invite Him into your life and relationships, He gives you the strength and guidance to love in ways that protect your family and keep negativity from taking over. Whether you're a believer or just curious about God, His love can transform your life and relationships when you open your heart.
