QUOTES ON TOP

“I want something really worthwhile to live for. I want to invest this one life of mine as wisely as possible, in the place that yields the richest profits to the world and me…wherever it is, I want it to be God’s choice for me and not my own… Christ said, “He that would find his life shall lose it” and proved the truth of this divine paradox at Calvary. I want Him to lead me and His Holy Spirit to fill me.” – Betty Stam

SWEET MARRIAGE - 15 (LOVE YOUR SPOUSE EVEN WHEN THEY DON'T DESERVE TO BE LOVED)

“Love bears all things…endures all things.” – 1 Corinthians 13:7

Recently I was reading an article written in facebook. Actually a guy wrote that article about his wife which really touched my heart.

He was engaged to a very beautiful girl and after his engagement, he dreamt a lot about his future with that girl. Unfortunately days before his marriage, the girl went away with another guy whom she loved. He could not bear that sorrow. As his parents insisted him to marry a relative girl on the same day, he married her without any interest upon her.

As she was physically fat compared to the other girl, he could not love her at all. He hated her to the core from the first day of their marriage. He won’t speak to her for a minute. She used to wake up early, cook, wash his clothes and does all the household stuff. Then in the afternoon she will go to her office for work. When she returns back late night he will be slept.
Though she could not get the love of her husband, she loved him with so much patience. One day his mother spoke very rudely to her as she was barren. She knew the reason for that but yet she never spoke a word against anyone but left their house politely.

He was also happy as his wife left their home. But one day when he was reading certain poetry that she had written for him and kept on the cupboard, his heart melt. He could able to understand the love of his wife and he felt that he too missed her badly.

So he went to her mother-in-law’s house thinking his wife would have went there after his mother spoke badly about her. He prepared to defend himself if someone in his mother-in-law’s house asks anything about the fight. But when he went there he understood that his wife never went there. Then when he searched for her, he found that she was staying as a paying guest in a women’s hostel for two weeks without informing anything to her parents about the afflictions that she was facing in her husband’s house.

He brought her home and fell down at her feet begging for her forgiveness. She immediately forgave him and hugged him. He ends that long article concluding that they were so happy now and she is carrying their twin babies.

Many who have commented on that article appreciated his wife for being so patient and endured all afflictions with love.

I was wondering how a girl could love her husband like that when he hated her to the core! She loved her husband so much that she patiently endured all afflictions. She loved him so truly even when he was not worthy to deserve her love.

Because she endured the afflictions, today her family is built and they were living happily.


Love bears all things and endures all things. Love your spouse without any expectations. They might not deserve your love. But love them anyway. Do not run away from your marriage relationship. One day God will answer your tears and you will definitely have a happy blessed life.
