Ruthlessly In Love
I really admire the kind of devotion to love expressed in the bible passage Ruth1:16 which in modern English said:-
“But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.”
I can still remember reading these lines in bible class as a youth and thinking what a powerful declaration of love it was. Now, here’s a woman who has found true love and she is determined that she will not let her man embark on his journey without her. She’s quite resolute about this too!
Maybe this should be required reading by couples thinking of taking the marriage journey together. It could act as means of testing their commitment to each other. If they cannot say the words to each other and really mean them, possibly they should reconsider marriage.
On the flipside of the coin, there might already be some people out there who are wondering what’s love got to do with marriage?”
I rest my case.
