For many, many reasons, I can't fathom loving any other woman than my wife. It's not because I'm the perfect husband, but "I know what love is, Jenny." I wonder sometimes if I'm as faithful to my Savior as I am to my spouse. In The Good News We Almost Forgot, Kevin DeYoung writes about the exclusivity of our relationship with God:
"Loving God is like loving your spouse: When you choose your mate, it is to the exclusion of all others. You can't do both. You can't tell your wife, 'Honey, here's my other lover. I really wanted you to meet. I know you'll be great friends. You both mean so much to me.' Your wife will say, 'It's me or her. You take your pick.'"
