This Thing Called LOVE

Love... What is love? Love is to love someone
for who they are, who they were, and who they will be.

It doesn't take a reason to love someone,
but it does to like someone. You don't love
someone because you want to; you love someone
because you are destined too. It's because you
fall in Love with them, that you then try to
find a reason, but you always come up with
the answer, No reason!
Say I love you and mean it; don’t just say it because you can.

It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship
and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual
affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it
will not be created for years or even generations.

When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us.
When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled,
we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising.

This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfilment.

Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves
dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”

Just because you know someone doesn't mean you love them,
and just because you don't know people doesn't mean you can't
love them. You can fall in love with a complete stranger in a
heartbeat, if God planned that route for you. So open your heart
to strangers more often. You never know when God will throw
that pass at you.

Many of our young ladies do not realize just how strong
her love for a young man is until he fails to pass
the approval test with her parents.

"Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the
real with the ideal never goes unpunished

Never say goodbye when you still want to try.
Never give up when you still feel you can take it.
Never say you don't love a person when you can’t let go.
It takes a minute to have a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone, and an day to love someone...
but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go
