WHAT IS HIGH-LEVEL LOVE?
Do you make allowances for your spouse and endure whatever comes your way?
The Apostle Paul said, “Love…bears all things…”
In the Greek, the word “beareth” is stego which means “to cover”, just like a roof covers a house.
This word gives a picture of covering someone so they don’t get injured.
Love SUPPORTS what is placed on top of it and covers and protects what is placed under it.
Agape (love) patiently endures the faults of others especially from their spouse.
Are you operating in this kind of high-level love?
Love knows when and how to be SILENT.
In your marriage you have a choiceof what kind of an attitude that you want to have.
It’s your CHOICE!!
Has there been a time in your marriage that you stood by your spouse’s side no matter what the cost?
The Holy Spirit wants to give you STRENGTH to endure anything that may come to destroy your marriage.
Love doesn’t look back but continues to the very end.
If you were on a tiny boat with your spouse and the boat sprung a leak, what would you do?
PANIC!! And try to cover the hole so water couldn’t sink the boat.
A marriage in progress tries to “Save their Loveboat.”
This is exactly what spouses need to do for each other.
Agape covers negative things about others rather than putting a magnifying glass on them.
Do you exaggerate the negative areas in your spouse and don’t acknowledge the positive?
Do you plow down your spouse with sarcasm or put-downs?
Agape won’t lie about the weaknesses of others.
Don’t let bitterness control you instead cover your spouses faults and failures.
Go the extra mile to PROTECT your spouse’s reputation; don’t broadcast bad news.
You can’t sink his end of the “loveboat” without sinking yours.
Happy paddling!!!
NOTE: Daily there is a new post to help your marriage succeed.
LOVE YOUR SPOUSE 
This post was such a blessing to me today. My husband and I will celebrate 10 years of marriage on the 31st and we know many couples that didn’t make it to their 10th so we are encouraged. These past two & 1/2 years have been very difficult for us financially, but the beauty in our struggle is that our relationship has gotten so much stronger. I know God has been with us through all of it and we give all glory to Him for being our present help. I love my husband tremendously and he loves me the same way and I don’t believe we would have this kind of sacraficial love and endurance for one another had it not been for the struggles we’ve faced together over the past two & 1/2 years. We are blessed with love, three beautiful children and a marriage that God has taken through the fire to turn into pure gold. There is no testimony without a test. Love and Blessings to you Nancy! xoxo
