How to Center Our Marriage Love in Jesus’ Love

Dear Wife,

When we center the love for our husband in our love for Jesus, it deepens our love as a couple.

My love story with Christ began when I was sixteen as I gave my life and heart to Jesus. What a sweet love for sweet sixteen! 

Furthermore, my love story with my husband, Mike, began when I was twenty on a college campus. We were in a sociology class together, Marriage and Family. I know—crazy! 

So, the professor gave students an opportunity to earn extra credit by attending an event on relationships and writing a paper.

And it was at this event, sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ, where I shared my love story in Christ.

After class, I heard a male voice behind me calling, “Hey!” Then I turned around to the cutest guy who said he enjoyed my testimony. I still joke with Mike about his Christian “one-liner” hoping to date me. But I was thankful he had his own love story with Jesus.

We became fast friends, dated for three years, and reached a milestone this year of thirty-four years of marriage.
