This morning I had the privilege of chatting with my aunty over breakfast (I had not met her since I was 2 and fighting (physically) with my brother for HIS milk bottle). Haha.

She was telling me of her early years in the UK, how she met my uncle and all that. She told me of my cousin meeting her future husband (now husband) in university and what they’ve been through since getting married.

And my aunty said something that kind of stuck around. To her, love is not a warm fuzzy feeling, its not an emotion, but its everything 1 Corinthians 13 say it is. She said that now, (after 30 years or so of marriage), she loves my uncle even more than she did from the start, because of what they’ve been through together. 

I kind of thought that couples married long enough will get bored of each other and even though they may still be together, mid-life crisis and all that would sure strain their relationship, wouldn’t it? Commitment they may have to remain faithful and keep their family together, but to love even more than they had from the start?

That’s God-sent.

Is it possible?
