Love Beyond Chemistry: The Sacred Search for a Lifelong Partner
When tears fall at the ten-year mark of marriage, what story will they tell? I've witnessed two contrasting scenes: a pastor whose marriage feels like a crushing burden, and a woman whose tears flow from overwhelming gratitude for her supportive husband. These aren't isolated incidents - they represent the stark reality that approximately 42% of marriages end in divorce, while countless others persist in quiet desperation. What makes the difference between marriages that thrive and those that merely survive? The answer lies not in finding the perfect person, but in understanding what marriage truly is: not primarily a romantic relationship, but a sacred partnership with eternal purpose. "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness" guides every aspect of Christian life - except, mysteriously, when choosing someone to marry. Here, we suddenly abandon kingdom priorities for feelings, chemistry, and romantic excitement. This cultural obsession with romance as the foundation for marriage simply isn't working. Despite more people demanding romantic love as a prerequisite for marriage since the 1960s, marriages have become less satisfying and divorce rates have climbed steadily.
