Sacrifice in marriage is a beautiful expression of love, commitment, and selflessness.

Healthy couples are willing to put each other's needs before their own at times, whether through giving of their time, support, patience or understanding.

Sacrificing for one another shows dedication to the relationship and it strengthens the bond between husband and wife. When you serve each other with love and compassion, you will build a marriage filled with unity, trust and lasting care that will last a lifetime.

We would like to share a few key scriptures taken from the New International Version of the Bible to highlight the importance of your sacrificial love and commitment to each other.

  • Proverbs 17:9 - "Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends."
  • Matthew 6:14-15 - "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."
  • 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
