As the initial rush of love becomes something deeper and more lasting, it becomes easy to take the other person for granted, losing our spirit of understanding and our will to serve with love. Every day we need to seek God’s guidance in our lives. Every day we must pray for the wisdom and strength to overcome temptation and make the right decisions. Every day we must recommit ourselves to love.
