Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
1 John 3: 18

"Love is a choice."

"Why drag a relationship out? Just commit!"

"People today wait too long to get married. They need to find someone in their early 20's and just tie the knot!"

"Only true knowledge of a person makes it possible to commit one's freedom to him or her." This is because, "True love, a love that is internally complete, is one in which we choose the person for the sake of the person - that in which a man chooses a woman or a woman chooses a man not just as a sexual 'partner' but as the person on whom to bestow the gift of his or her own life."

Translation: We must know the truth of the person to whom we're committing and also know ourselves in light of God's truth, otherwise love is "blind" and not love at all. This is because we don't just marry a generic man or woman, but a unique, complex person created with dignity and in the image of God.

op. lemme ask TONTO
