Marriage Made in Heaven

Love Is Patient, Love Is Kind: Living 1 Corinthians 13 in Real Marriage


Listen Later

In this heartfelt episode of Marriage Made in Heaven, we're unpacking one of the most quoted yet misunderstood scriptures about love, 1 Corinthians 13. It’s the verse that shows up at every wedding, but how often do we actually live it in our day-to-day marriage?

From forgiveness and patience to emotional maturity and servanthood, this conversation dives deep into what real, biblical love looks like behind closed doors; when life is busy, tempers flare, and grace feels like work.

We're sharing stories from our own journey, lessons from counseling couples, and powerful truths about the kind of love that endures, heals, and transforms.

You’ll hear them discuss:
 • What it really means that “love is patient, love is kind”
 • How to love when your feelings don’t match your faith
 • The difference between emotional reactions and spiritual maturity
 • What forgiveness looks like after betrayal or broken trust
 • Why humility and servanthood are the foundation of lasting love
 • How to guard your marriage against division, temptation, and pride

We don’t sugarcoat it, we talk about our mistakes, our growth, and how God’s Word continues to anchor our marriage through every season.

Key Quote:
“Love isn’t a feeling; it’s a decision to show the heart of God when everything in you wants to do the opposite.”
