In his thought-provoking book, "Sacred Marriage," Gary Thomas asks us to consider if marriage is designed to make us holy rather than just happy. It's a powerful question that resonates with the wisdom shared by these husbands through their one-word descriptions of love. These words also demonstrate the correlation between loving God and loving our spouse. While these guys provided some great words, we find that the Apostle Paul wrote a beautiful definition of love with multiple words herein 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 "Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends."
