What did she say? Is she crazy? Of course you ought to get married if you’re in love? Like she lil mad or wah? Say what?
YOU HEARD ME!
“Oh we’re in love”.
This statement has been responsible for many a divorce, broken homes and dissolved relationships…. because as many as have fallen IN love have fallen OUT of love.
So why would you base your marriage solely on a momentary feeling? Or is divorce the answer for throwing away one moment for another?
Do you even recognize the differences between love and being in love?
Ok.
Imagine a fireplace, a beautiful fire place and the wood and matches needed to light the fire.
Now ‘love’ is like that fireplace. Always there, solid and such a beauty with the very real potential to build a wonderful fire, that warms the heart, soul and body.
Being ‘in love’ on the other hand, is like the wood and the matches. It’s not always there, you have to get the wood, you have to make the matches available, you have to ignite the sparks, you have to create the fire.
And guess what? The wood, the fire, it won’t last always. It will die down, it will go out and its up to you to rekindle it, to put more wood in to keep it burning.
Needs to be posted often…people need a reminder.
Thanks.
