YOU NEED A PROPER UNDERSTANDING OF LOVE!
Everything built on a wrong foundation will soon crumble and fall. One of the basics of relationships and marriages that we need to get right is a proper understanding of love.
Most people go into relationships on the basis of ‘love’. Unfortunately, however, they do not have a proper understanding of love.
The so called love they have is based on a wrong understanding and expression of emotions and feelings.
It is imperative to work towards a proper understanding of love so as to lay an appropriate foundation for relationships and subsequent marriage.
LOVE IS NOT A FEELING!
When love is misunderstood, relationships and marriages suffer at the end of the day.
One often misunderstood aspect of love is the thought that it is the intense feeling of deep affection, happiness, excitement, nervousness, etc that occur at the beginning of relationships.
People who hold this notion think that love is that which is felt in the heart and leads to strange emotions including the heart missing a bit, the heart beating faster, the butterflies in the stomach, and the sensual feelings that follow these emotions.
Such feelings may be part of love, but it is wrong to reduce the definition of love to just the feelings. Love is broader than just feelings.
LOVE IS NOT BLIND!
You’ve probably heard the saying that “love is blind”. Many people believe this myth about love and go into relationships and marriages with it.
It is a belief that has led a lot of young people into abusive and hurting relationships, ignoring all the danger signals that come up.
In the name of “love is blind”, they turn a blind eye to the warnings and end up being hurt. It is important to understand that the love that serves as the basis of marriages and relationships is not blind.
Love can see, and take precaution. Love can see and make an informed decision.
