The Love Dare - Day 40

Love is a Covenant

Is your marriage a covenant or a contract? The authors of The Love Dare Book put it this way:

Seeing marriage as a contract is like saying to your spouse, "I take you for me and we'll see if this works out." But realizing it as a covenant changes it to say, "I give myself to you and commit to this marriage for life."

While the two words are used interchangably alot of times, they do mean and consist of different things. In the context of marriage, they are worlds apart.
