Love is putting all your eggs in one basket when you SHOULD

have i ever been infatuated with women and felt like it was love ? yes
love is a word thrown around alot these days. ever chick says they " love " their boyfriend. and the next boyfriend.
12 guys later in 14 months she says she loves him too.
is this love ?
do these people know what love is ?
there is a love a real love that is so powerful it defies even death.
i will speak of this love first.
ALOT OF YOU HAVE NEVER HAD THIS LOVE :
it is the love ~ªêQµïTª$~ spoke of when he said
How do you explain those marriages that last... forever? and I am talking about those marriages where the couple are happy with each other, would do anything for each other, die for each other............... How Do you explain people staying with their partner even after a few years when the other looks like a hippo gone wrong? How do you explain that feeling you get when you are just in the presence of that individual? ...
our generation and the one before it do not understand this love
we are taught by society and the media SEX IS LOVE
young women are so confused as to what love is. they sleep with 50 men thinking they have it. all they have is the fleeting feeling of infatuation.
lets look at a written definition of true love :
1 Corinthians 13:
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when i became a man I put away childish things.
12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
13
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
the english language has one word for love. thats why we get confused at what someone means when they say it.
most other languages have many different words for the
DIFFERENT KINDS OF LOVE
from memory there are 4 in greek
one for unconditional love ( agape ? )
one for love of a family member
one for love of a friend
one for love of your spouse
We all like feeling good and " being in love " but it is not always the love spoken of in that bible quote
i can prove this easy
that is why we argue and fight and break up and cheat and lust and hate
alot of the relationships are not true love
they are this new age love or need to feel " in love "
it does not last
like ~ªêQµïTª$~ pointed out in his example true love shows itself
these old couples that have been married 50 years and love each other now as much as they did 50 years ago
another time i know. men and women were very different back then.
certainly alot more honourable. but they like we are simple products of our society.
our generation has been subject to terrible perversions.
gay rights. gay marriages. feminism. children growing up without fathers. divorce at 50%. sleeping with 100 people. AIDS. sex has no real meaning.
the list goes on. we have it alot harder that people did in those days.
true love can still be found. but it is a very rare treasure indeed.
i have had many women tell me they love me.
i have told many women i love them.
only one was true love.
i would have died for her and she would have died for me.
that is the test of love. prepared to give your life for someone else.
people who have children understand this love.
the rest of us must look hard and seek it out
