Bible Note: Greetings SRN! Excellent point! I always tell people when I do pre-marital counseling, "Love is an action, not an emotion." If one acts in a loving manner towards someone else, then one will feel loving. But, love is not a feeling. This is one of the misconceptions which I believe leads to many divorces. A young couple gets married and they feel all "lovey dovey". Then, reality sets in and they find out that real life isn't like the romantic movies they have seen. Real people have to work. Real people are inconsistent. Real people have faults. Real people even get bad breath. Then, the stop feeling "lovey dovey" and decide that the marriage is over. They never realize that love is an action, not an emotion. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
