Christian Valentine’s Day begins with the divine Valentine, the Bible. Couples are reminded of God’s everlasting love:
“The Lord your God will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing” (Zeph 3:17).
Marriage is not a single moment of happiness but a journey that unfolds in stages. Each phase brings its own joys, challenges, and invitations to grow in love. Understanding these stages helps couples respond with maturity, patience, and commitment.
