Seven key things that will keep your love life alive
Love is a beautiful thing.
Yes, this is true when you get the right person.
Just like a tree is planted and watered, love must also be cultivated.
It is clear in 1st Corinthians 13 verse 4-7 that, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
