Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

Known as the “Love Chapter,” these verses emphasize the qualities of love that are essential for a thriving marriage, focusing on patience, kindness, humility, forgiveness, and perseverance.
