Over the years I’ve heard many definitions of love. The most common is love equals sex with a few nice feelings thrown in for good measure. This is not necessary love. For some sex is simply a pleasant thing you do with someone you like physically.
Sadly that’s what some marriages are based on sex. Then one day when the pleasure becomes routine the relationship dies.
True love I believe was defined by the apostle Paul in his letter to the Corinthians. I believe it is a definition that all people can understand whether they are Christians or not.
Paul writes,
“Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails....
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-8a,13.Please think about it.
