In the pursuit of romantic love, believers are reminded to prioritize their devotion to God, as Matthew 6:24 cautions against serving two masters. The apostle Paul advises married couples in 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 to remain committed to one another, while also acknowledging that God is faithful and will not test anyone beyond what they can bear, as promised in 1 Corinthians 10:13. Ultimately, the depth of God's love for humanity, demonstrated in John 3:16, sets the standard for all earthly relationships, and Hebrews 13:5 assures believers that God will never leave or forsake them, providing a foundation for healthy and loving relationships.

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. The commandments “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and any other commandments, are summed up in this one decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Continue in brotherly love. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those in prison as if you were bound with them, and those who are mistreated as if you were suffering with them.
