Lasting Love Extends Grace
By Rick Warren
“Love never stops being patient . . .” 1 Corinthians 13:7 (GW)
If you want your marriage to last for the long haul, you’re going to need to make tough choices to stay in love—and keep making those choices again and again. One of those choices is to extend grace, even when life is hard.
The longer you’re married, the easier it is to become ungracious. No marriage will last without grace, forgiveness, acceptance, and a lot of patience. You have to choose to cut your spouse slack.
It’s easy to show grace one time. That’s no big deal. What’s hard is when someone repeatedly hurts or irritates you. First Corinthians 13:7 says, “Love never stops being patient . . .” (GW). The Message paraphrase says it like this: “Love . . . puts up with anything.”
Here are three situations that will continually call for grace in your marriage:
You need to extend grace when their flaws and faults irritate you.
The longer you love somebody, the more you know their flaws. You can choose to be either critical or gracious, picky or kind, perfectionistic or merciful. The Living Bible paraphrase says in Proverb 17:9, “Love forgets mistakes.”
One time two women were talking after church and one said to the other, “Do you remember when your husband did that?” She was talking about a bad thing that had happened. I love what the other woman said: “I distinctly remember forgetting that.”
Friend, it’s a choice. It’s foolish to think that two imperfect people could have a perfect relationship. You must extend grace. Love disregards another person’s faults. Love forgets mistakes. Ephesians 4:2 says, “Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love” (NLT).
You need to extend grace when their words or actions hurt you.
The truth is, we’re human and we hurt each other, sometimes intentionally but many times unintentionally. We say things we don’t mean. We’re inconsiderate and selfish. We’re careless with our words and actions.
I was talking to a man one day. He said, “I did something wrong, and my wife got historical.”
I said, “You mean hysterical!” He then said, “No, historical. She told me everything I’d ever done wrong.”
The Bible says that love “keeps no record of wrongs” (1 Corinthians 13:5 NIV). You’ve got to let it go if you want a love that lasts.
You need to extend grace when they sin.
Your spouse is going to sin, sometimes against you, sometimes against God, and sometimes against others. Colossians 3:13 says, “Put up with each other, and forgive each other. . . . Forgive as the Lord forgave you” (GW). Love forgives.
A great marriage is simply the union of two great forgivers.
Tomorrow we’ll learn two more choices for growing a love that lasts.

Your spouse is going to sin, sometimes against you, sometimes against God, and sometimes against others. Colossians 3:13 says, “Put up with each other, and forgive each other. . . . Forgive as the Lord forgave you” (GW). Love forgives. A great marriage is simply the union of two great forgivers.

Commit to keeping your roots deep in Jesus and building your life on him. He can bring your marriage back to life.
09/27/2026
As you and your spouse affirm each other’s value, strengths, and ministry, you’ll become each other’s biggest fans and see your relationship grow.
09/26/2026
The greatest enemy of romance isn’t adultery or anger or bitterness. It’s busyness. Nobody is going to make time for your marriage except you.
09/25/2026
The test of real love isn’t what you say about loving each other. It’s how you act. You want greater harmony in your home? Treat your spouse as Jesus would.
09/24/2026
If you are quick to listen and slow to speak, you automatically will be slow to get angry. And it will keep your marriage growing and going. You must keep on paying attention.
09/23/2026
Marriage is a three-legged stool. A two-legged stool will fall over because it has no stability. It takes three to make a marriage work—you, your spouse, and God. God never meant for marriage to be just two. You need Christ at the center of your life and marriage.
09/22/2026
How do you find the emotional energy to begin to make the effort? Pray and obey. Pray to God for the strength to keep fighting for your marriage, and then obey what he tells you to do.
09/21/2026
What is the worst sin in marriage? It’s not what you’re thinking. It’s actually unforgiveness. Unforgiveness holds every other sin captive. If you hold on to every hurt and use it as ammunition, that will sink your marriage.
09/20/2026
Did you know that if you’re married, God’s number one tool for helping you grow spiritually is your spouse? He uses your differences intentionally to help you grow.
09/19/2026
Building my marriage has been the most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my life. But it also has been the most rewarding thing. Commit your life to Christ, and then commit your marriage to him. I promise you it will be worth it.

If you find yourself in a hard season of marriage, take a look at your commitment to each other and how intentional you’ve been about physical affection. And if you’re having trouble in those areas, get help!
09/17/2026
James 3 teaches, “The wisdom that comes from heaven is . . . considerate” (James 3:17 NIV). If you want to be wise in your marriage, you need to learn to be considerate of your spouse!

The Bible has a lot to say about emotional health. Here's a list of emotional health factors from God’s Word.

09/11/2026
Real Christianity offers life-changing truth. Accept it today, and you’ll never be the same!
09/10/2026
You’re never too young or too old to be used by God. No matter who you are, where you’re from, or where life has taken you, you have gifts, abilities, and talents that God has put in you and wants to use to share his Good News.
09/09/2026
The more you pray, the more you’ll find yourself connected to the power of God’s Holy Spirit and energized to do all he has made you to do.
09/08/2026
On earth it’s impossible to serve God directly. The only way you can serve God now is by serving other people. That means anytime you help someone, it’s like you’re doing it for him. You’re practicing on earth what you’re going to do in heaven.
09/07/2026
As you put God first and trust him with your finances, you’ll discover that he is faithful to keep his promises and care for your needs.
09/06/2026
If you’re investing in God’s funds and using your money to serve God’s purposes, then you’re storing up treasure in heaven every day. You’re getting closer and closer to your treasure instead of further away.
09/05/2026
You’ll find yourself becoming more and more like God as you invest in your character, other believers, and people in need.
09/04/2026
God knows what’s going on in your life—and in your wallet. He knows all your needs even before you ask. And you can trust him to take care of you.
09/03/2026
Next time you’re considering whether to give or how much to give, remember that God’s greatest concern is your heart. When you give thoughtfully, enthusiastically, voluntarily, and cheerfully, then you know that’s a gift God will bless!
09/02/2026
The financial plan that God blesses starts with recognizing that he is your source of income and your security. Then, by keeping good records, you can more easily see how God is providing for you and blessing your good stewardship of his gifts.
09/01/2026
Mourning is okay; moaning is not. Instead of moaning, get moving! Today is the day to plant the seed.
August 202608/31/2026
No matter what anyone says to me, I don’t want to say anything bad back to them because, if I do, I’m going to reap more than I sowed. Instead, I choose to do the exact opposite of what they’ve done to me. I choose to bless them and pray for them.
08/30/2026
Becoming like Christ is a lifelong journey. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 3:18 in The Living Bible paraphrase, “As the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him.” God’s Spirit will be working on you the rest of your life to help you grow up spiritually.
08/29/2026
When you get up in the morning, before you do anything else, sit on the edge of your bed and say, “God, if I don’t get anything else done today, I want to get to know you better and I want to love you more.”
08/28/2026
Plants take time to grow. There’s no such thing as instant maturity. No farmer goes out, plants the seed in the ground, comes back an hour later, digs it up, and expects it to have grown. You’ve just got to let it be, and let God grow it in his time.
08/27/2026
It may not make sense to give away something that you need more of, but that is exactly the kind of attitude that God wants to bless.
08/26/2026
The secret to contentment is finding your security and your satisfaction not in what you have but in whose you are. You find it in Christ.
08/25/2026
If you’re not happy with what you’re living on right now, I can guarantee that you’re not going to be happy with more. Because no matter what you have, you’re always going to want a little bit more.
08/24/2026
This kind of Christ-like, contented life only happens when you learn not to compare. When you compare, that leads to coveting, and when you covet, you can’t be content.
08/23/2026
When you move forward in faith and follow God’s guidelines for financial peace, you will experience his blessing; like the servant, God may give you even more resources or more responsibility.
08/22/2026
When you remember that God is the owner and you are the manager, you’ll worry a whole lot less and focus more on managing God’s money well.
08/21/2026
When you master your money, when you make it your servant, it serves you. When money works for you, instead of you working for your money, you will have peace.
08/20/2026
Because so many people in the world are living for themselves, showing mercy and grace to others will always stand out. Be known for your mercy as you model for others how good God has been to you, and you will make an eternal difference!
08/19/2026
When Jesus died for you, he was saying he loved you so much he’d rather die than live without you. The Bible says that’s what real love—the kind of love you can build your life on—looks like. Real love makes sacrifices. Real love gives all.
08/18/2026
Are you encouraged by the thought of being in the presence of Jesus and reunited with your friends and family? When we are grieving with someone, we should share that encouragement with them.
08/17/2026
Next time you lack the confidence to share your faith, you can relax, knowing that the message of Jesus will bring much-needed clarity to people’s lives.
08/16/2026
When you become a Christian, Jesus doesn’t just change your perspective. He changes your values. You no longer want to do the things you used to do. He changes your “wants.”
08/15/2026
God is going to pursue you with his love throughout your life, and then you’re going to enjoy being in his presence forever and ever. That’s the best news!
08/14/2026
You will never know how to really live until you’re ready to die. Only a fool would go through life totally unprepared for something that everybody knows is inevitable.
08/13/2026
Mercy is like a diamond; it is multifaceted. The Bible reveals seven facets of mercy, and if you will learn how to be an agent of mercy, it will transform your relationships.
08/12/2026
Nobody knows what’s going to happen next week, much less next year or in the next 10 years. But when you face the future, you can know this: God will fill your life to overflowing, and his goodness and mercy will be with you. There is no need to fear.
08/11/2026
Contentment comes when you enjoy what you have rather than waiting for something else to make you happy. Stop comparing yourself to other people, and start being content with what God has given you—and then watch your joy overflow!
08/10/2026
Complaining is a total waste of time. It's stewing without doing. It's worthless. Complaining will never make you feel better. Instead, God wants your life to “overflow with joy and thanksgiving for all he has done” (Colossians 2:7 TLB).
08/09/2026
How do you experience an abundant, overflowing life? There is one habit that, if you do it every day, will fill you with an endless supply of God's goodness: Stay connected to Jesus.
08/08/2026
Why do we do let ourselves get overextended? Often the fear of missing out motivates us to do more. But the truth is you’re not missing out on anything when you rest in the goodness and provision of God.
08/07/2026
The very God you’re wrestling with is the one who gives you your dream for your life. He's the one who will make it happen! God’s not trying to thwart your dream—he’s getting you ready for it.
08/06/2026
God never tells you to do something without providing what you need to do it. Anointing is a sign that he is equipping and empowering you to fulfill an assignment he’s given you.
08/05/2026
Everyone will experience loss. And you don’t just “get over” a loss. If you’re scared to express emotion and refuse to go through it, that’s where you get stuck.
08/04/2026
If you’re a child of God, your heavenly Father is proud of you. Critics may spite you, slander you, ignore you, ridicule you, or libel you, but they can’t stop God’s blessing on your life.
08/03/2026
Some days, you’ll want to let go of God’s hand. You’ll want to pull back and say, “I don't even know what I believe.” But God is never going to let go of your hand, because he loves you too much.
08/02/2026
The Bible repeatedly tells us that when Jesus looked at people in pain, he was moved with compassion. God wants you to be like him, which means looking at others the same way.
08/01/2026
When you trust in Jesus as your Savior, you’re no longer on your own. When you feel lost, confused, or like you’ve fallen into a pit, you can trust that the Good Shepherd is always there for you. He will guide you, guard you, and save you.
July 202607/31/2026
Because of God’s goodness, Jesus directs and protects you. Jesus is our Good Shepherd, who “came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28 ESV).
07/30/2026
The fact is, there are a lot of reasons to be afraid in today’s world. More than ever, we feel the stress of even everyday tasks that seem infinitely more difficult because of the state of the world. But God promises that, even in your darkest valleys, he is walking beside you.
07/29/2026

07/28/2026
You will get through whatever trial you’re facing right now. Soon enough you will marvel at all that God did in the midst of your trouble as you look at it from the other side.
07/27/2026
When you know what to expect in the valleys of life, you know how to better prepare for them and keep trusting in God’s presence and provision.
07/26/2026
Valleys are the hard places on your journey, where it’s easy to doubt or overlook God’s goodness. But you can always trust that God walks through the valleys with you. And he’s promised to bring you through to the other side.
07/25/2026
God wants to lead you on the right path, and he will do that when you surrender to him and his guidance.
07/24/2026
The problem with following culture is that it’s all temporary. You need to follow something eternal: God’s Word.
07/23/2026
If you don’t feel forgiven, it means you don’t fully understand God’s goodness. When Jesus died, he covered all your sins. It’s as if he threw them into the deepest part of the sea and put up a “No Fishing” sign.
07/22/2026
Every other religion has a list of things to do to get to heaven. Other religions can be summed up in the word “do.” Christianity is summed up in the word “done.”
07/21/2026
God never intended for you to go through life carrying all your grudges, guilt, and grief alone. Jesus wants you to come to him for restoration. He promises, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28 NLT).
07/20/2026
When you’re in pain, you need to ask, “What is God doing?” Is he trying to get your attention? Is he trying to bring good out of bad? Is he preparing your character for heaven? No matter what, you can trust that God will use your pain to help you grow.
07/19/2026
The Christian life isn’t a mistake-free life, but it can be a guilt-free life. God understands your failures—and he loves you anyway. That’s God’s amazing grace! It is his goodness to you, and you can rest in it today.
07/18/2026
By nature, people are discontent. But by God’s grace, you can rest contentedly in his goodness to you. When you grasp that most things in your life are simply gracious gifts from God, your life will go from overwhelming to overflowing with God’s abundance.
07/17/2026
Nobody ever asks for things in the final moments of life. They always ask for people, because eventually everyone learns that life is all about relationships. Why not learn that sooner? It sure would relieve a lot of stress.
07/16/2026
Are you perfect? Absolutely not. Are you broken? Yes. Are you a sinner? Yes. But are you of infinite value? Yes! And you are deeply loved by God. He has already proved your worth on the cross.
07/15/2026
Why did God rest and relax on the seventh day? It’s not because he was tired, because God doesn't get tired. He was modeling what he wants you to do: Stop work and relax. Keep a Sabbath, and rest in God’s goodness.
07/14/2026
A lot of your worry, hurry, scurry, and restlessness comes from not understanding the goodness of God in your life. When you understand what God has done for you and wants to do for you in the future, you can relax, let go, and learn to rest.
07/13/2026
It takes more than willpower to stop worrying—but you already know that, because you’ve already tried it. You’ve thought, “I shouldn’t worry about this,” yet it stays on your mind. Here are four steps to help you stop worrying.

07/09/2026
Would you rather have your worries or God’s Word running through your head? Do something about it today: Confess your worry—and then fill your mind with God’s truth found in his Word.
07/08/2026
If God loved you enough to die for you, he certainly loves you enough to feed you, lead you, and meet whatever need you have today.
07/07/2026
Remember: You don’t have to carry what God has already promised to take care of. Simply acknowledge that he is the source of everything you need—and pray: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1 ESV).
07/06/2026
No matter where you are in life right now, you could use a reminder of God’s goodness. And sometimes the best way to remember something is to talk with God about it through prayer.
07/05/2026
In our broken culture, God is looking for people who will choose righteousness, who will trust him, obey him, ignore the critics, go the opposite way culture is going, and persevere until the end.
07/04/2026
