Love is easy to profess and costly to practice — this chapter pushes past sentiment to examine what sacrificial, covenant love actually demands of a man.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.The Kendricks describe a common pattern: men who were deeply romantic and attentive before marriage who became distant and distracted after the wedding. How have you seen that drift happen — in others or in yourself?
2.The chapter distinguishes between love as a feeling and love as a commitment — arguing that biblical love is primarily a choice and a discipline, not a spontaneous emotion. How does that reframing change the way you think about the hard days in your marriage or family relationships?
3.1 Corinthians 13 is quoted at length as the 'job description' of love. Which attribute in that passage — patience, kindness, not being irritable, not being resentful — feels most like a personal indictment when you read it honestly?
