The Fuel of Marriage - Keller

Tim Keller on how satisfaction with Jesus fuels marriage:

The simple fact is that only if I love Jesus more than my wife will i be able to serve her needs ahead of my own.  Only if my emotional tank is filled with love from God will I be able to be patient, faithful, tender, and open with my wife when things are not going well in life or in the relationship.  And the more joy I get from my relationship with Christ, the more I can share that joy with my wife and family.
