Hosea is my favorite Bible guy, as the best example of a man loving his wife like God loves Israel, the Jews, like Jesus loves the Church. A wife can also love a prodigal husband just as much as Hosea loved his prodigal wife. But in this Bible story of a "bad marriage", Hosea never gave up on her no matter what she did. He even took care of her food & clothing needs when she lived with a loser lazy boyfriend. I heard that he legally divorced her to save her from being stoned to death for adultery, but his heart never strayed to a better woman. She became a prostitute, and his loyalty never wavered. In the end, he saved her from being sold on the slave block. I can't imagine he felt much good emotions for her, but he was loyal and did all the love he promised he would do, love without end. Military service & police service, firefighters too, comes close to this kind of sacrificial love, willing to give up happiness, comfort, life, for the benefit of the one loved. What a miracle!! The greater the sacrifice, the greater the love. (Obviously safe reconciliation is the goal.) If you admire Hosea too, tell others to join the Hosea Fan Club!

Tit 2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,... Love isn't a feeling, it's a doing, a skill set we're not born with, and not enough women are taught how to love a husband before they start a romance. They try to love him as THEY would like to be loved, but that doesn't work with men, not for very long anyway. Now that I'm older, and have saved my marriage in 2007 with God's help (after wrecking it by following my heart & popular culture advice), I've learned how to love my man and teach younger women what I've learned so far. This only works for the lifelong committed wives who meant their wedding promises of "til death do us part" or "as long as we both shall live" or "we'll always be together" etc. If you signed a prenuptial agreement, burn it. Love never fails!!

Saving America & the World by saving marriage...Promises made should mean promises kept. Learning how to be a permanent happy team takes work, but marriage-for-life works best for every community. Learning to marry wisely is another topic. This hashtag is about lifelong commitment once promises are made by free-will-adults. Divide & Conquer is what happened to America, starting with race, then when obvious racism was made illegal, the enemies of the Constitution switched to dividing the family. Forgiveness is for all who succumbed to the lies that wedding day lies are best. It almost happened to us too in 2007, but I stood up to the Doctrine Of Division and asked for God's help to follow through on our lifelong promises of marriage. It hasn't been easy to learn to be a happy team, VERY difficult actually as we are both from broken homes & raised more by peers & Hollywood promiscuity propaganda than influenced by good-example adults. We're still not perfect, but we made it!! Our family is forever safe from the broken-home political agenda, married in 1993, Best Friends Forever!! Join us! The children & grandchildren & theirs will all thank us all. Love never fails...1 Corinthians 13:4-8, John 15:12, Hebrews 13:5, #Hosea loved his horrible wife like God loved him & gave him strength to love by miracle. God is still a God of miracles!! #MarriageBFF
