| sugiggs | says | Day 10 : Love is unconditional ( a quarter of our journey.. yay...\(o_o)/ ) |
| sugiggs | says | God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. - Romans 5:8 |
| sugiggs | says | If someone were to ask, Why do you love your wife/husband? Most people will answer all the good qualities he/she has. |
| sugiggs | says | But what if over the course of years, your husband/wife stopped being every one of those things. Would you still love them? |
| sugiggs | says | Based on your answer above, the only logical response would be "No". If your reasons for loving your spouse all have something to do with |
| sugiggs | says | his/her qualities-and then those same qualities suddenly or gradually disappear-your basis for love is over |
| sugiggs | says | The only way love can last a lifetime is if it's unconditional. The truth is this: |
| sugiggs | says | **Love is not determined by the one being loved but rather by the one choosing to love** |
| sugiggs | says | The Bible refers to this kind of love by using the Greek word agape (pronounced uh-GOP-ay). It differs from other types |
| sugiggs | says | phileo (friendship) and eros (sexual love) |
| sugiggs | says | Both friendship and sex is important but if your marriage totally depends on having common interests or enjoying a healthy sex life, |
| sugiggs | says | then the foundation of your relationship is unstable. |
| sugiggs | says | Phileo and eros are more responsive in nature and can fluctuate based upon feelings. Agape love is 'in sickness and health' love |
| sugiggs | says | 'for richer and poorer' love, 'for better or worse' love. |
| sugiggs | says | That's because this is God's kind of love. **He doesn't love us because we are lovable but because He is so loving.** |
| sugiggs | says | If a man says to his wife 'I have fallen out of love with you' he is actually sating 'I never loved you unconditionally to begin with' |
| sugiggs | says | **His love was based on feelings and circumstances rather than commitment.** |
| sugiggs | says | But you will struggle and fail to attain this kind of marriage unless you allow God to begin growing His love within you. |
| sugiggs | says | Love that 'bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things' ( 1 Corinthians 13:7) |
| sugiggs | says | This is God's kind of love and thankfully-by your choice-it can become your kind of love. But first you must receive it and share it. |
| sugiggs | says | And don't be surprised, when your spouse begins living confidently under its shade, |
| lunaphi | says | bingung. thankfully-by u'r choice- ini maksude ? |
| sugiggs | says | if he or she doesn't become even more lovable to you than you remember |
| sugiggs | says | You will no longer say 'I love you because...' You will now say 'I love you, period.' |
| sugiggs | says | **Today's dare**: Do something out of the ordinary today for your spouse- something that proves (to you and to them) |
| sugiggs | says | that your love is based on your choice and nothing else. |
| sugiggs | says | Wash her car, clean the kitchen, but his favorite dessert, fold the laundry. |
| sugiggs | says | Demonstrate love to them for the sheer joy of being their partner in marriage - end. |
| Phazey | interesting |
| sugiggs | says | 'Has your love in the past been based on your spouse's attributes and behavior or on your commitment? |
| sugiggs | says | how can you continue to show love when it's not returned in a way you hoped for? |
| lunaphi | says | ooo >.<;;; |
