Real love isn’t just an euphoric, spontaneous
feeling; it’s a deliberate choice a plan to love each
other in sickness and in health. Of course, you
don’t choose who you’re attracted to, but
you definitely choose who you fall in love with and
more importantly who you stay in love with.

Our society places a lot of emphasis on feelings.
We are taught that we should always follow our
feelings and do whatever makes us happy. But
feelings are very fickle and fleeting. Real love, on
the other hand, is like the North Star in the storms
of life; it is constant, sure, and true. Whenever
we’re lost and confused we can find strength in
the love that we have chosen.
Besides, life already offers us plenty of
spontaneity: rejection, job loss, heartache,
disappointment, despair, illness, and a host of
other problems. We simply can’t abandon ship
every time we encounter a storm in our
relationship. Real love is about weathering the
storms of life together.
More often than not, real love has its sleeves rolled
up, dirt and grime smeared on its arms, and sweat
dripping down its forehead. Real love asks us to do
hard things, to forgive one another, to support each
other’s dreams, to comfort in times of grief, or to
care for family. Real love isn’t easy.
The question “Can Your Love for Someone Break
through the Barrier of a Disability in Them” heated
arguments on social forums.
Below are some of the reactions of Naij.com
readers when asked if it is okay to love someone
with one disability or another.
Madu E Madu said “Yes of course, love is
tolerance and it is charity, love overlooks
disabilities & its inabilities, when I have the love of
God in me I’ll love in accordance to his will”.
“Love is no longer blind, only if he becomes
disabled after we love each other but if the
disability Is so bad I would leave him, how would I
feed or take care of myself” Sharon Ifeoma said.
One of our readers said: “I’ve never met someone
who was more comfortable in their own skin. I am
most impressed by character and the Challenges
that are created and it has nothing to do with each
of “our” disabilities cos I believe genuine and true
love over throws all”.

According to Kafayat Abake Oni, “as long as he is
not disabled in the brain, the thing is, there are
some people out there with perfect body but
imperfect thinking and manners. I’ll rather date a
physically disabled person than an intellectually
disabled idiot”.

The response from gist212.com readers shows that
some are against dating people with disabilities,
while some are in support.

Whether you are in support of dating people with
disabilities or not, you should know no one falls in
love by choice, it is by chance. No one stays in
love by chance, it is by work. And no one falls out
of love by chance, it is by choice.

It depends

True love have no limits.

To say the truth it depends. If we were together before the problem, I will still love her but for me to fall in love with a disable person just like that? Wel,nothing is impossible this day so I can't actually tell.

No I can't... Simple!

I wonder how many people actually read this...

Disabled persons are also human beings so why not. Besides someone who woke up hale and hearty today can be disabled by evening. There are people who have become disabled as a result of road accidents which could happen to anyone. As for me, it might not be easy, it will take sacrifice and understanding but I can fall in love with a disabled person.

Besides, if the person God has ordained to be with me till d end of my days and give me a peaceful, fruitful, and loving home is a disabled person, it is better than marrying a healthy but troublesome and cantankerous woman that will lead to my premature death.
