One
of the emphases so far in this book has been that staying married is not mainly
about staying in love, but about keeping covenant. We did eventually come around to saying that
precisely by this unwavering covenant-keeping the possibility of being
profoundly in love in forty years is much greater than if you think the task of
marriage is first staying in love. Keeping first things first makes
second things better. Staying in love isn't the first task of
marriage. It is a happy overflow of
covenant-keeping for Christ's sake.
- John Piper
