Takeaways

It is normal to have times when you don't like your spouse, but it should not affect your behavior or commitment to the marriage.

Controlling emotions is crucial in maintaining a loving relationship with your spouse.

Liking someone and loving them are not the same thing; agape love goes beyond emotions.

The I Will Devotional and counseling services are resources available to help couples navigate challenges in their marriage.
