I forget where I heard it, but first comes marriage, then comes love. Having been married for fifteen years, I have to agree. There was infatuation, attraction, and exhilaration before marriage, but not love. Being in love takes work, from both people. You can love friends, family, even people you don't know, but that's not the same as being in love. I'd say the same goes for loving God, it takes work on our part. He already did his part.
