What is love?

     Recently I saw a status post on facebook that screamed out loud to me:

'today "till death do we part" really means till the feelings go away.'-Anonymous Poster

     Unfortunately, this couldn't ring truer in today's up-coming adult generation. 

But yet, this statistic is CAUSED and continuously WORSENED by our own

lack of knowledge. No, I am not referring to ignorance; but sheer stupidity. 

     Most all people are deceived into believing that love is an emotion. love is NOT an emotion, it is not something that can be felt, or experienced. It is a DEVOTION. it is the RECOGNITION of our RESPONSIBILITY to one-another, not only as lovers or intimate partners, but as a human race as a whole. We really need to consider what it is we teach our kids about "love" what what that word TRULY means. LOVE is a VERB!! An ACTION!!!

     Humanity, generally speaking, have the least idea of "love" of any creature! Look at ants! Each and every member of the colony devotes their entire life and effort to FEED their queen! (not even themselves!) Bees-same. Many pack animals (elephants, lions, tigers, etc.) also devote their entire "lively-hoods" for the greater good of the CLAN, not themselves. Maybe when people get back to what marriage really is, and get away from the idea of "romance." Candle-lit dinner with wine, and some Marvin gay playing is no scenario for romance! Holding your wife's hand through every tear that YOU CAUSE her, apologizing, and devoting your life to ENSURE happiness, compassion, and longstanding with one-another; ACCEPTING responsibility when you are WRONG, and providing BETTER solutions for when you are RIGHT is a good place to start! 

     Marriage is an life-time commitment. If you are not prepared to spend the rest of your life, FIGHTING to keep the love in your relationship, then you will NOT be blessed enough to maintain it! Period. This is not an opinion  this is a fact. I repeat love is an ACTION not an EMOTION. Learn how to read each-other. It's hard to love, when you have no love to give! So learn your partner! Learn their wants and desires! SPECIFICALLY ASK THEM AND DEFINE what makes them FEEL loved! What ACTION can you take to SHOW them your love more loyally, or more often? this is what our generation needs to seriously begin considering, far before ever hitting their knee! (or their backs, for that matter!)

      Again. These are NOT OPINIONS. THESE ARE FACTS, and anyone whom has ever been through a DIVORCE can attest any (or all) of the above stated "misunderstandings" as the ROOT if not DIRECT cause to their divorce.
