Showing True Love to Your Spouse - Bob Lepine

Bob Lepine wants to address the cultural confusion about marital love today. We use the word “love” but don’t really know what it means. Couples will pledge their love at the wedding ceremony, but they are really saying “I like being around you and I like how I feel when I’m with you, and I hope I can keep this feeling until I get tired of you.” Bob admits this is what he thought love was about when he married his wife Mary Ann. Bob then differentiated between AGAPE love and EROS (erotic) love, and why self-sacrifice is the only kind of love that is lasting. He points to the dangers of selfish ambition described in Philippians 2, and describes in humorous terms the “humblebrag” where we mask our desire for recognition in a false veil of modesty. Bob concludes with a comparison of marital love with the tenacity of a bull dog, and explains why we need God’s love supply to help us move toward unconditional love with your spouse.
