Looking At the Best In Your Spouse Even in the Midst of the Worst

In any relationship there are hard times... some harder than others. It is always important to remember that love is a choice. Do you choose to continue to love and show love to your mate espesially when things are rocky?  Its not an easy task to show love ... that's why 'they' call them "hard times." The choice is to continue to show love to your other half even when he/she is being down right unlovable! Remember, you made a promise to your family, his/her family, him/her and to God Himself that you would love and cherish your spouse not only for better but for worse too! And those bad times are precisly the place your love will be proven and strengthened! And if you're having a hard time remembering what it is to love, flip back to I Cor 13 and read though... if anything there sticks at you, kinda like an 'ow! Do I have to???' That's most likely what you may need to work on in your own heart before you can be loving to them in those times. And don't forget that love is selfless!
