Second, we must strive to love more than we did at the beginning.
The instinct of love does not last long. It is said that the expiration date for heart-pounding love is about 300 days. It will with less than a year. Therefore, you must love harder than you did at the beginning. The love we are talking about here is not the “feeling of attraction” we initially felt. It means “responsible love”. If you are attracted to each other and love each other, you have to take responsibility until the end. It is not human nature to look at other people because the expiration date has passed. Verse 10 says, “I urge you, brethren, to do more.” The Thessalonian Church was a church full of love and labor. But Paul exhorted, “Work harder!” Because love cools down with time. Don't try to love by feeling or feeling anymore. We have to work harder with the responsibility of building a family. You must love according to your knowledge. You must strive to become a mature couple. Reading a book or attending a seminar is also a good option. A love that strives never wears out.
Third, we must fulfill our duty of love.
The Thessalonian Church was a relatively good church. However, there were two things to fix. One, there were some fornicators. Another was that he did not work because of his false belief in the Second Coming and was immersed in a godly life. To such a church, I exhort, “And, as I commanded you, be quiet and do your own work, and do your best to work with your own hands, so that you may be modest toward strangers, and that you may not have any need” (verses 11-12). These people seemed reverent at first, but they harmed the community. Because he did not fulfill his duty of love. If you love your family, you must work for them. If you love your family, you must take care of their frailties. Avoidance of duty turns love into hate. I would like to give one piece of advice to my brothers. Don't leave child rearing to your wife alone. If you love your wife, you should relieve her of her troubles. “I make money, so you do it all!” This is irresponsible treatment. Happy is the family that faithfully fulfills the duty of love, whether it be a wife or husband. The love of this couple does not tire.
