It cant work

I just got back from visiting an out of town friend and her husband today. I hung out with them all day just relaxing and watching movies. I sat on the couched and watched how much in love they were. I saw how much she adored him and how he would do anything for her and how much their baby brings them even closer together. It kind of amazed me at how well it was working out. Not that they couldn't make it work but of how genuine it was. You don't see that often and it was really cool to see. My friend and I went to go get coffee earlier today and we stood outside with her baby boy just talking about God and relationships. She was telling me how that only way her and her husband are able to do this is that they both love God more than each other. She told me that she wouldn't have it any other way, that it isn't enough to just love your spouse and it will work. She said that you both have to put God before the other and love him more than the other. I suppose I had already known this in the back of my head but I don't think I have actually heard somebody say it that way. It made me think that whatever relationship your in won't work out unless you both love God more than each other.
