Ann Voskamp writes ~
Marital love is a demanding and dying thing compared to the stuff of movies and mirages.
The love of imagination — it’s a different beast entirely than love made in the image of a Saviour with nails in His hands.
There are no standing lovers: the only way to love is to lay down.
Lay down plans. Lay down agendas. Lay down self.
Love is always the laying down.
This is how to make love out of a marriage: Love lays down it’s own wants to lift up the will of another.
Love let’s go of it’s plans — to hold on to a person.
