How to Stay Crazy in Love with Your Spouse

Most couples are madly in love on their wedding day. They’re infatuated, passionate, and convinced they’ll always feel this way.

Over time, however, the sizzle begins to fizzle. There’s the first big argument, then little annoyances creep into the relationship, and the couple soon gets caught up in the daily grind of life. Before long, one spouse or the other begins to wonder, “Is this all there is to our marriage? Where did our love go?”

On our Focus on the Family Broadcast “How to Stay Crazy in Love with Your Spouse,” my colleagues Greg and Erin Smalley are with us to inspire couples to build a lifelong, loving relationship utilizing “love secrets”:

True love commits
True love seeks God
True love fights for peace
True love honors
True love needs time to grow
True love embraces
True love endures

We’re discussing what true love looks like and how married couples can express that love to each other in meaningful and godly ways throughout their lifetime.

Greg and Erin say marital conflict is painful in the short term, but it offers you an opportunity to experience something better in your relationship. As James 1:2-4 reminds us, “trials” should be viewed with “joy” because they produce steadfastness in our lives.
