In the tapestry of marriage, love serves as the warp and weft, weaving an unbreakable bond that withstands the tests of time. As we embark on this journey of exploring the essential elements for a successful marriage, we anchor our reflections in the timeless wisdom found in the Bible. In the book of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, the apostle Paul provides a profound definition of love, stating, "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."
