Marriage requires a radical commitment to love our spouses as they are, while longing for them to be what they are not yet. Every marriage moves either toward enhancing one another's glory or toward degrading each other.
Marriage involves a profound commitment to embrace our partners fully, accepting their current selves while also hoping for their growth and improvement. This dynamic creates a balance between acceptance and aspiration, crucial for a thriving relationship.
In a marriage, the journey can either uplift both partners, enhancing their strengths and bringing out the best in each other, or it can lead to negative degradation where each may diminish the other’s potential. The choice between these two paths significantly impacts the health of the marital relationship.
