What sustains the marital bond and affections over the long haul? Three men with a combined 116 years of marriage reflect on what they’ve learned from God’s Word and others, along with their own experience.
Don Carson, Tim Keller, and John Piper offer insight on falling in love again and again, and on the ground of covenant in which the flower of love grows. In marriage man and woman change, but their promise does not. It’s sustained by the God who enacted his covenant between Christ and the church.
As Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote to a young married couple, “It is not your love that sustains the marriage, but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love.”
