Biblical love
Here are a couple of things the Bible says about marriage, things I try to remember/practice every day:
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her…For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."
— Ephesians 5:25, 29–31Let your fountain be blessed,
and rejoice in the wife of your youth,
a lovely deer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight;
be intoxicated always in her love.
—Proverbs 5:18–19Like a lily among the thorns,
So is my darling among the maidens.
–Song of Solomon 2:2
The Bible is in many ways a love story, the story of how and how much God loves mankind. It's only because He loves me that I'm able to love anyone else.
