In a 1997 motion picture, For Richer or Poorer, a New York socialite couple played by Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley are headed for a divorce while on the lam in an Amish community hiding out from the long arm of the IRS. Their relationship seems doomed until a wise farmer tells Allen’s character, “You’ve got to look inside your heart and put her heart above your own.”
This has been my favorite video to recommend for couples who have, what Jesus called, “Left your first love” (Rev.2.4, NASB). Forgetting why we got into marriage in the first place can lead to the relationship falling apart. The way back to repair is keeping the other person’s heart above your own.
If you are struggling with a marriage that seems to be falling apart, putting your partner’s heart above your own can make all the difference. You may get back what you’ve long lost.
