Marriage is a commitment of your whole heart..all of you..until death do you part. Because you respect that person and "agape" love them..along with the physical attraction as well. It means giving all of you to that one person. Much like when we give our life to Christ when we accept His gift of salvation.. We wouldn't just back out of that when we're not happy with what's going on with us, right? You don't marry someone for them to make you happy..you marry them to spend your life loving them and making them happy. And it should be mutual..they need to love you back the same. Love is a verb, an action..not just a feeling. Then marriage is what it was meant to be, two people giving to each other and taking care of the other first before themselves.
Yes, love has fuzzy feelings, but love is a commitment first, not a connection first, trickled into love eventually. The first thing that happens in way to love is that attraction and connection, but ultimately love doesn't just blossom on it's own, it is decided on. And thru that decision or oath, thru that denial of self and service of offering to them love emerges like a sprouted plant at first in the honeymoon stage. A beautiful entity.
Then, God allows crisis, thru life endeavors to produce perseverance and Character in it, forging it under His care to be as strong as tempered steel. Leaving a steadfast connection of inner- circle charms. But it is this God- produced beautiful thing Satan hates of God, thus us, For it is the reflection of Himself in our union of the two.. So pray it be guarded with all your heart, lest Satan side-track one of the two of you away from such a beautiful plant. Anything to secure it outside of Christ's power will not have a chance, but with His power it is untouchable. Ironically tho, this is based on our will of choice in it.
