“Our culture says that feelings of love are the basis for actions of love. And of course that can be true. But it is truer to say that actions of love can lead consistently to feelings of love.” - Timothy Keller This is one of my favorite quotes about marriage because it accounts for the fact that couples will not always have the same feelings toward their spouse. There will be moments when you feel frustrated and want to withdraw or withhold affection and attention from each other. There will be moments when you don’t want to love each other the way you promised you would on your wedding day. But this gives hope! It reminds us that we can can work backwards and that doing the actions / serving / being kind to our spouse can spark the feelings back into action. This mindset has helped us in our marriage and I hope it can encourage you in the moments when you don’t feel like loving your spouse. 🤍 Also, this quote is from the book “The Meaning of Marriage” which I highly recommend! #themeaningofmarriage #christianmarriage #healthymarriage #marriageadvice #beating50percent #marriagetok #marriagetiktok
