True Love is known when your heart wants to pertect and nourish the other person no matter what. When you put them first. That is when you are in true love.....
There are three types of love. In the world today.
1. If Love - I love you if..........
2. I Love - I love you becasue.........
3. I Love you - I love you Period. (no acceptions, Doesn't look at past faults) This is the type god has for us too.
True love is in giving not in reciving. Though reciving love in return is always great. How does one know if they are in true love many ask the question. But only few are able to answer it. In Ephesians 5:28-29(scroll to bottom of blog for scriptures) gives us a great example of true love. According to the scriptures a wife is like your own body. So to be loved and to love think of them as you would yourself. In doing so you will take better care of your lover than you could ever imagin.
Love is different when it comes to men and women. They both look at it differently and they never really know why the girl is hurt more in a break up than the guy. Here is an example
Guys / Girls
worry about What people think / Emotional Attraction to the guy.
Want to be a stud / Wants to be loved
On a mutral aspect though they both are worried about not being liked, or loved by the other. And they worry about what the future has in stalled for them.
But to truely love someone you have to be able to love yourself first. True love thinks of the other person becasue they are healthy in there selfes. So because you are in love you worry about them and try to keep them safe. Becasue you are health in your life and how things are going. And you want to share it with them in there life. If you love someone you would Do whats best for them and not yourself. You will put them first and formost in your life. You would rather go without than watch them go without.
Love- Type of love
Nourish- To meet the needs in there life just like you do in yourself.
Cherish- Pretect from harm
When you are dating someone and you ask yourself Is this true love. Think of these quiestions:
Does he/she drive safly with me in the vehicle?
Dose he/she try to presher me to do things I don't want to?
Do they make me feel good about myself?
Are they always on my mind?
Is he/she my best freind? (can I tell them things I wont tell others?)
One of the biggest quiestions asked by many people is
How far can I Go?
I have to say the answer to that is. How far would you go if your parents are right there with at that moment. That is how far you should go.
True Love will give you pleasures but will not lead to sex. For sex is to be shared with your Wife/Husband and nobody else. So if you are in true love they will wait for love is far greater than any bodly pleasure. It will also pertect you from hurt and pain because they will be there to take it away. Because they love you and they don't want to see you suffer. When you find the one you truely love you should insist on an isclusive relationship. (100% of there time. Can't date other people while with you) But just becasue you are dating does not mean they can't be with there friends. For its good to keep your individual self and have your unity at the same time. Do not lose your self completly. Being in love is something to make you grow but your freinds help you grow in other ways.
Another way to know when your in love-
With other people your feelings become like brothers/sisters or just freinds. With the one your dating it does not change. They do not become like brothers they are at a different level and that is how you can tell Friend from Lover.
Scriptures:
Ephesians 5:28-29
In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man is actually loving himself when he loves his wife. No one hates his own body but lovingly cares for it, just as Christ cares for his body, which is the chruch.
