Listen Later

Did you know there’s a single word that sums up the whole of a happy marriage? It’s the key to everything you’ve ever wanted in a secure, satisfying marriage relationship. In this message, Chip shares the missing link to most failing marriages and why it’s central to enjoying the marriage you’ve always hoped for. If you have a good marriage, what Chip shares will help you build on that success and deepen the love you’re already experiencing.

How do you keep love alive?

  • Ephesians 5:25-33
  • Very rarely, do we take how Jesus loves the Church and use that as our model for how we are to love one another in marriage.
  • Your marriage is not just about your PERSONAL fulfillment. -John 13:1-17, 33-35
  • Other than the Church of Jesus Christ, your relationship with your mate is the single most powerful testimony of the reality of God.

Principles:

  1. Love is not a FEELING.
  2. Love is SERVING. -Philippians 2:3-4
  3. Love must be RECEIVED.
  4. Love is UNCONDITIONAL.

Practical Implications:

  1. Love is a CHOICE.
  2. Love MEETS the NEEDS of the one loved.
  3. Love requires extreme HUMILITY and SECURITY.
