The Beauty of Ordinary Love

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Not every day will feel like a movie. In fact, most love stories are built in the ordinary.

It’s in the way your spouse brings you water without asking. The way you laugh at the same silly joke. The way you pray together before rushing off to work. Ordinary love doesn’t make the headlines, but it makes the marriage last.

Singles, don’t only chase the grand gestures—roses, candlelit dinners, surprise trips. Those are wonderful, but temporary. Pay attention to how the person treats you in ordinary situations. Do they show kindness when no one is watching? Do they honour you in their tone, not just their gifts? That’s who they really are.

Couples, stop waiting for anniversaries and birthdays to feel romantic. Treasure the ordinary days. Hug before sleep. Eat together when you can. Send a text that simply says, “I’m thinking of you.” Share stories about your day, even if they seem small. These tiny acts are the glue of forever.

Song of Solomon 2:15 “Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards.”

Sometimes it’s not big betrayals but small neglects that ruin love.

But the reverse is also true—small, ordinary acts can sustain love for a lifetime.

Ordinary love may not trend on Instagram, but it will carry you through decades. Don’t despise it. Celebrate it. Because it is often in the little things that the deepest love is found.

I come in peace.
