Dare Thirty Nine: Love Never Loses

The Thirty Ninth dare states, "Spend time in personal prayer, then write a letter of commitemnt and resolve to your spouse.  Include why you are committing to this marriage until death, and that you have purposed to love them no matter what.  Leave it in a place that your mate will find it."

Here's what I wrote:



About the Chapter . . .
Let me rephrase, true love never loses. God is love, God is the Word of God, so a marriage built on the Word of God is unshaken. We've all heard "Love never fails," but what does it really mean? What does it mean to fail? I'm looking it up, hold on . . .

To fail is:Instead love is:
To lose strength: weakenTo gain strength: reinforce
To fade or die awayTo grow and flourish
To stop functioning normallyTo get better, gain familiarity
To fall shortTo make it together, succeed
To be or become absent or inadequateTo be always present or sufficient
To be unsuccessfulTo be successful in the relationship
To become insolventTo be prosperous in marriage
To disappoint the expectations or trust ofTo exceed the expectations or trust of
To miss performing an expected service or function forTo triumph in performing an expected service or function for
To be deficient inTo be abundant in
To leave undone: neglectTo leave nothing undone: attend and care for

Love never failing means loving them in spite of it all, no matter what.
