Being in love with someone is that passionate feeling of excitement that makes your heart jump when you are attracted to someone emotionally and physically. You can't stop thinking about them, you want to kiss, hug, touch and feel them. The feeling of being in love is temporary, it is like a wind that wraps you in a whirlwind of passion today, but is gone tomorrow.
Loving someone is more constant than that, it means giving someone so much care, affection, friendship, respect, understanding them and accepting them just the way they are. Your love for them does not fade with time or with distance. It is the kind of love that is described in the Holy Bible;
"Love is patient and kind. It does not envy or boast. It is not proud or rude, or self-seeking. It is not easily angered, and does not keep record of wrongs. It always protects, trusts, hopes, perseveres. Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:4-8 ).
Most relationships start with both partners falling in love with each other, being in love with each other. But what happens when the sparks are gone?...., that is when they both have to decide to love each other, accepting their flaws and all.
In relationships where people are together for so many years (like in marriage), they will tell you(if they're honest), that it is difficult to be in love with your partner all of the time, that they were not always in love with each other, they were in and out of love, but they still love each other. Which is what really matters, having a love that is like anchor that holds you and your partner through the wild and stormy sea of your relationship.
So, what would you prefer?, to share a love that is here today and gone tomorrow?, or to share a love that lasts for ages, a love that never fails?Keep rocking...!
