Love...God Kind of Love.


Love is a choice, a commitment to respond at all times and in all situations like God who is Love. To develop a deeper love walk requires concerted effort of the persons involved. It is more practical than theoretical. Marriages with strong foundations include a worldview that goes deeper than compatibility, best friends and love - deeper than feelings. What is unseen in these relationships is the view that the goal is not happiness; the altimate goal is oneness. However, in the midst of this symbiosis, happiness is bound to ensue.

 The couple know they are a team, with the following important tips in mind: (1) Each one is out to make the other happy, rather than focus on making the self happy. (2) Happiness is not the goal of marriage because happiness is like the ebb and flow of a tide, always changing. (3) The goal of marriage is deeper - for the betterment of our souls.Together, we are stronger, and left alone, we might persevere in bad habits and selfishness. Marriage helps us reach virtues and maturity. Through sacrifice and consideration of another person, we must come out of our cozy caves. Choosing to love means you will have a better chance of persevering through betrayals and temporary feelings, calling upon forgiveness and healing.

A problem shared, it is said, is half solved. Spending quality time together affords this great opportunity. Brooding over presumption and concerns out of loneliness, is the gateway to separation and eventual devorce, with other attendant complications. On a broader view, no one is complete in themselves; our sufficiency is in our togetherness as a team of symbiotic entities. So, each derives strength from active participation of the other.
