On the other hand, many marriages in Silicon Valley exist as mere business partnerships, negotiated settlements that seek to move the family unit forward in a chase for success.
Real marriages, however, have an element of 'true love' without the fantasy of perfect romance and real marriages have an element of practical support without becoming simple drudgery.
How to avoid fantasy or drudgery? The key is remembering agape love, remembering that the deepest kind of love is submitting your own life for the sake of another person. That can look practical, romantic, courageous, forgiving, hopeful, sacrificial and full of laughter. Agape love is Jesus' kind of love, it's a love despite existing conditions and it's a love that seeks to redeem the beloved. It's the love that serves rather than be served.
I hope that many of us will be helped by the upcoming marriage seminar, Building a Great Marriage.
