LOVE
Why is it that the “L” word has become so taboo in the courting area of a relationship…Herer is an example; Years ago when I was single and mentioned to the man I was dating that I loved him….Immediatly. he thought I wanted the wedding bells and the comitment….WRONG….Men, sometimes when we tell you we love you, or when we act it…We mean, we love the person that you are, the way you make us feel…BUT, we are not IN love with you…IN fact we love our cat the same way, we like being with you, but you are not the ONE at that moment…
Love is a beautiful thing…In fact we are commanded to love one another; We are told to love our neigbor as we love ourselves etc. So why are making such a big deal out of that word…It should be the norm for humanity..When one loves someone or even something , we develop a certain respect for that human, we cherish their abilities, accomplishments, their gifts to humanity…But marriage and commitment is not the first thing on our minds…
When a relationship begins, its like the begining of a flower…First the bud, and the anticipation of what it will become…then, come the revealing part..as the bud opens and the true flower is revealed..and growth becomes a reality, the flower is admired and the scent of it is pleasant to the nostril, we stop and smell and enjoy..at that time is when the decision is made…do we pick the flower or leave it…only then is the choice made…never before a bloom is evident..same with a relationship…..we meet, we discover,we evaluate and then the decision is made by either parties….whether to go on with the relationship or go on to the next flower…
There are 3 types of love:
Amor….the human love one has for another.
Eros…The sexual motivated love
Agape….The ultimate love..The kind God has for us and, the kind of love that would lay down their life for someone. The kind of love we feel for our child, the kind of love that wants to take care of an individual, that their wellfare is most important to us..that is the love you base a marriage on…not the fleeting emotion we call love…
I hope this has made sense to you…
with LOVE, MOM
