What is the Meaning of True Love?
What is the Meaning of True Love? – by Christian Marriage / Youth Speaker, Dr. Raymond Force
I once heard someone say, “Love is not finding the right person, but it is becoming what the other person needs.”. I would also like to add that love is not meeting “Mr. or Mrs. Right” as much as it is becoming “Mr. or Mrs. Right”.
Herein lies the reason why so many couples struggle today. Though they have fallen in love with the chase, their romantic feelings, and what they want out of the relationship, typically they are more in love with what the other person does for them than anything else. I often say that when many couples say “I love you”, what they really mean (though not all the time) is “I love what you do for me”. Consequently, when the marriage seems to stop yielding what they want out of the relationship, their romantic feelings turn angry and resentful.
Are you having marital issues? Do you love your spouse? If so, how do you measure that love? Is it by the amount of feelings that you once had for them, or is it by your willingness to make the proper changes in your life so that you can truly meet their needs in a sacrificial manner? I would say that the latter would be a better choice.
Some people feel that in order to become “Mr. or Mrs. Right” for their spouse, they must work on their waist-line, their looks, or their ability to provide financial benefits to their spouse. Though it is okay to look your best and make a decent living, character and the ability to truly love are the two ingredients that make a marriage really work.
