What Is Love To You by emirate5(m): 10:29am On Nov 12, 2017 |
WHAT IS LOVE TO YOU?
It’s hard to say this but the truth is many people, both married
and singles, are not in love. They are rather in trade. If you
think I am lying, why don't you answer this simple question
"What makes you think you love your partner?". It’s either how
they make you feel or what they do for you. And in fact that's
what holds the relationship. Such a relationship is conditional
and bound to end when these conditions are no more
available.
People are doing things, saying words just to win company,
affection and attention. People are super nice from the
beginning, giving what they don't have and don't mind crossing
the widest river for you, all in the name of love and in an
exchange for marriage, relationship, sex or money.
It’s all about impressions, we lift people high to fall for us and
in the process of falling, they term the feeling they get as love;
but confusion sets in when these feelings start fading, when it
becomes on and off.
If truly "Love never comes to an end" as 1 Corinthians 13:8
(NLV) puts it, then I suggest to you that what people fall for
these days is not love but rather infatuation. People these days
are married to infatuation. At the beginning they claim this is
my perfect match then the next moment, they think they got
married to the wrong person.
Is love all about how someone makes you feel? Then love can
be associated with what they did for you or made you feel. So
to some, love could only be about money, if you can spend on
me more than anyone ever did, then I am in love with you and
it also means you love me.
To some, it is how you touch me. How you move your hand
around me is what drives me crazy. In fact, nobody has turned
me on in this way before and this is what speaks love to me.
To some it is the words you speak to me; you say the right
kind of words I want to hear. These words have the power to
make me feel in a way I have never felt before.
Today many people are in love with the things and feelings
they are getting, not with personalities or souls. For them it is
what you do for me or give me that defines our love; as soon
as I am not getting those things, the relationship is over.
These are the reasons why many marriages these days don’t
last. Even dating lasts longer than a lot of marriages.
To love is about serving, it’s how you touch someone’s life,
how you put smiles on someone’s face, how you leave your
name in someone’s heart and not the other way round. Finding
someone and serving them without getting tired is what
defines love. Sometimes I laugh when young people say I love
him just because he makes me happy. To them, loving is all
about themselves and not about the one they claim to love.
True love is giving someone without thinking of what you get
in return. This is why Jesus Christ could die for people who
hated Him. This is why God asks us to pray for our enemies.
You don’t have to feel something for someone before you
sacrifice for them. If that was the case the bible won't say in
Matthew 5:44 (NLV) that "But I tell you, love those who hate
you. (*Respect and give thanks for those who say bad things
to you. Do good to those who hate you.) Pray for those who
do bad things to you and who make it hard for you".
Just think about how marriages will be if we will learn to love
instead of trading emotions, deeds and words?
In conclusion don’t marry because you are lonely; but before
you agree to love or marry someone, make sure you are ready
and fully understand what love is. |

Love is unconditional, Love is all about caring about someone regardless of the person's race, colour, sexuality, disability and any other shortcomings the person might have. This is love to me. |

Love is dat feeling u hv whenever u r with that special one. All ur senses become heightened whenver u think of them. U see every little detail in their physical feature, their voice sounds like music 2 ur ear, their skin feels smooth as silk, their smell intoxicating n their kiss, an elixir of passion. I'm just saying o. Hv never felt all those 4 one person, so I dnt think I've ever been in love. Theres no compromise in matters of love. |
