What Real Love Looks Like in Marriage: Are You Really Loving?

Marriage After God

About this episode

What does real love look like in marriage? In a culture that uses the word love for pizza, movies, and our spouse alike, the word has been diluted, and it's easy to say "I love you" flippantly. In this episode Aaron and Jennifer Smith ask a real and serious question: when we say we love, how do we know we mean it? They look at who defines love (God, who is love, 1 John 4), the proof of love in action (John 14:15, 1 John 3:18), the first mention of love in the Bible in Genesis 22 as a foreshadow of the gospel, and the love chapter, 1 Corinthians 13, as a heart check. They close with a lightning round of three practical ways a husband and three ways a wife can prove their love this week.
