LOVE IS NOT A FEELING: Common Misconception in Relationships/Marriages.
21:15
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
“Love is patient, Love is kind
It does not envy,
It does not boast,
It is not proud,
It does not dishonor others,
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but
rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,
Always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.”
“To love another human in all of her splendor and
imperfect perfection; it is a magnificent task, tremendous and foolish and
human.”- Louise Erdrich
Love is more than a mere feeling
of butterflies in your belly. It is more than the craving and longing to be
with another. Love is a much deeper connection.
Love starts with true friendship
where an intimate emotional bond is formed which strengthens overtime through a
series of vulnerable and supportive actions. To love someone is to make the
decision to want to be with this person forever and a commitment to never give
up, to always show up, to always stand for and never against them.
Unlike Love, Limerence is short-lived
and conditional. It focuses more on the subject of your affection, and positive
characteristics. As time passes by and there is nothing new to see anymore, their
flaws become clearer and at this point your interest begins to fade, leading to
separation.
Love is unconditional and fluid;
it is built overtime.
Love stands any test. It is
choosing to stick with someone even in the tough moments, even when a
relationship is struggling because of infidelity.
Love is deciding to always put
effort in a relationship.
Oh! Love is forgiving even when
they don’t deserve it.
Love endures because you choose
it, over and over again. There is absolutely nobody without flaws, not even
you.
Love is never letting go
regardless!
Sadly, not everyone is capable
of loving!
Oh! what joy it is to Love
someone and be truly loved in return……RARE!
