LOVE Relationships
How do you know that you are IN LOVE? Is it just a chemical attraction that holds us together? I counsel with a few couples that tell me that they have Fallen Out of LOVE. What happened? Are the chemicals gone? Did the people change? Well I sure hope they changed, or else we would all be acting like 20 year olds. So do we have to fear Falling out of LOVE because we change? No I don’t think so.
First there is a chemical attraction , but that is Not LOVE. There is also a Romance period with Lots of hormones, but that is Not LOVE. LOVE is a choice, it is a committed relationship based on values and character that demands expression. I have heard that the average Romance period lasts about 18 months and a lot of that period we put on a mask. I suggest therefore that you never get married until that 18 month period is well over. True LOVE is an Unselfish commitment based on someones values and character. If your values line up and you respect the character traits in a person you can choose to build each other up and make each other better people. That is true LOVE and that kind of LOVE will include things like romance and hormones. Blessings. <>< Mark
