Love is not about finishing first it is bout finishing well. It is about choosing to not give up and not give in. I Once heard that in love and marriage it is not always about who is right, but what is right. It is about choosing your battles wisely. It is about character, and being able to say I am sorry. It is about picking up the other person when they are in their weakest moment. Love is about covering one another, honoring one another, and choosing the best thing for each other. It is about making a decision and sticking to it. Real love is about having the determination to end well. Real love understands that anything can happen, a spouse may get sick, a friend may betray you, you may find yourself with no money or whatever we consider tragedy. But love says "we are in this together, we started this so lets finish it". Remember the race is not given to the swift but to him that endures. Love is not about a destination, it is a journey of uncovering someone and learning them bit by bit, day by day. Love is learning to get up when we come short in love, in serving, in giving all you can give. Love is fixing your eyes on the prize, the prize of modeling the greatest love story told to man, of a king who lowered himself to pursue a bride who rejected him, even with piercings on his side he never gave up on that bride, he loved his bride to the death and continues to fight for her. In covenant marriage that is what love is about.
