Love Is About Bringing Out The Best In You
Anytime you find yourself in a love relationship, you should be happy, excited, overjoyed, and at peace. In other words, when you love and are loved in return, the best should be coming out of you. Let me say it this way. If you find yourself losing who you are as a person and/or making excuses for why you're not achieving what you set out to achieve, look in the mirror to examine what love is. As my mentor dropped in my spirit the other day, love brings out the best while insecurity brings out the worst.
The Bible declares, "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." That's my word for you. Examine what love is and allow it to make you better. - Rev. Dr. Sinclair Grey III 2.12.14
Trina E. Braxton
To love oneself either happens early in life, or later after struggle and pain. The first way is easier. That is self love. What you seem to point out is directed towards people who base their marriages and relationships upon conflict. Your first sentence is the ideal marriage, a reciprocal one. Most aren't ready for it as evidenced by their inability to remember seeing one, and for others who've never conceived of it as a possibility they'd look at you and say, "What is he talking about?"
The gap between the popular state of being married and a reciprocal marriage is a chasm. Knowing, in depth, what reciprocation in marriage looks like is one step closer to embodying love, as the apostle Paul described it to the Corinthian church, with ease. Trying to get there is as difficult a task as trying to teach a grown up driver to merge into the highway. It is too subtle an art form for the crude and abrupt. - Gregory E. Woods, 2.15.14
