Real love isn’t just about feelings — it’s about how you treat each other when things get hard. Patience, kindness, and grace are what carry relationships through every season.
2. Ecclesiastes 4:9–12 Two are better than one… A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. When God is at the center of your relationship, your bond becomes stronger. Couples who pray together, grow together, and lean on God together build love that lasts.
