Oh, that's just a slogan you're supposed to chant, to show that you're a good Christian.
God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe said, "God, you must be putting me on"
God said, "No"
Abe said, "What?"
God said, "You can do what you want, Abe, but...
...the next time you see me you know you'd better run".
Abe said, "Where d'you want this killing done?"
and God said, "Out on Highway 61".

You are to love the Lord above all. There are accounts in the Bible where people have given up their only son to God. If everything comes from Him, love Him for giving the gift of this husband to you. This husband is your gift in life for the life you have lived. Therefore love Him who is directing you and your path. Love in God will (and has) brought a more loving relationship in my life. It works! God bless.

I need to add another comment. :-) Prior to becoming a Christian some 32 years ago I was an atheist, raised in an atheist home, my friends were also atheists, etc.. I believe Jesus' words in Matthew 10, were also said to prepare potential believers for what was likely to ensue if they followed Him. It's highly unlikely a believer's would turn against their loved ones after following Jesus. On the other hand, it is not uncommon for unbelieving friends and loved ones to reject this new-found faith, especially when lifestyle changes are in conflict with their own. And if/when this happens, Jesus was warning His followers they needed to be prepared to choose. Many professing Christian's today love many things more than God--friends, money, themselves, the list goes on--but Jesus said they are not worthy of Him. We can't put God in second place. That's God's order of things, and when/if we choose to put Him first, He will give us everything we need. He's a loving and worthy God and has done it for me.

I must change it to my wife, but, I know my Lord will never cheat on me. I know my wife will never leave me. I know no matter how big I screw up, my Lord will be there for me. Now don't get me wrong. I love my wife, more than life it's self. But people change. How many times do you see parents 'divorce ' their kids? not often is it? But you do see people who 5 years ago promised to love each other for ever, but for one reason or another now divorced, some even hate each other, some even kill each other. But I know that My lord will not.

For one thing, the love people typically have for one another is typically minuscule and unreliable. Our culture 'falls out of love' easily when the going gets tough, when we no longer find our spouse attractive, or interesting, imperfect, not as fun, too old, when the money runs out, the health goes, etc.. Still others emotionally abandon their spouse/children/aging parents for their careers, the pursuit of money or prestige, flirtations, the love of alcohol, drugs, etc. Others may love their families yet forsake God, taking no time to come to know him, because we're afraid of what we may have to give up something. God who loves us more than we can think or imagine says repent of our unbelief and spend time getting to know Him. When we begin to understand His greatness and His love and care for us, we also find that He gives us the capacity to love others more perfectly.

I know as the world thinks, this sounds ludicrous. However if we love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength, we will love others more than we could without out love for God. God gave me life, God gave me salvation, and God gave me my precious husband of 26 years.

It's easy when you know who the Lord is, but like any relationship you have to grow to get to that point. I find that when I love Him more than my family I have the capacity to love my family even more than I would have otherwise. I love my husband dearly. He's my soulmate if there is such a thing, and the Lord made him.

Personally, I feel that if there was such a higher being in the world, then why on Earth would he even be so selfish to put someone through the pain of giving up on the one they love? It doesn't seem very righteous to me.

If you are a christian then it is a choice to make the Lord Jesus Christ your top priority. If your husband also is a christian and makes Jesus Christ his top priority then it works beautifully. Christ brings both spouses closer to each other in every way as they each devote themselves first to Jesus Christ.
