True love for your spouse involves actions that bless that person regardless of your benefit. Even more than that, it involves actions that bless that person when you may even take a hit for it. Christ, remember, didn’t love us because we were lovely; he loved us when we were hideous and hateful; he loved us to make us lovely. “God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8).
