With Valentine's coming up, I have been doing a lot of thinking about love. I guess I am trying to make sense out of everything. Out of life.
First I should tell you I have been in love many times, as I am sure most of you have. I married my high school sweetheart and was always faithful until he went to heaven at a very early age. So, I got to enter the dating scene once again.
I found a man I was deeply in love with. He asked me to marry him after we had lived together for over 2 years. I said yes. Then 2 months later, he told me he was taking a break and never came back. So was that really true love?
I can tell you that if we did get married, I would have stayed faithful and divorce would have never entered my mind. I would have done everything I could to make it all work out. I know this about myself. When I give, I give my entire being.
So this brings me to my thought of the day. Is there such a thing as true love? And if there is, with all the divorces now, does that mean that people are not knowing what true love is?
Here is my philosophy. In history, divorce was just not something that was widely accepted. People just didn't do it. They stayed together through everything. As time went on, more and more people started accepting it for any reason they felt that the marriage was not going well. So, I have come to the conclusion that many people do not know what true love is. But, this has been the problem all along. It is just been a belief. If you walk down that isle and believe the words you say, then you would stay together through everything. If you believe that when things fall apart, you should find someone better...... Well, I think that is why there is so many divorces.
Oh, and to finish my life's story up to now, I did find a man who I believe is my true love. And I wasn't even looking for anyone. I guess that is just how God works.
But if you are struggling at marriage or a relationship, just remember things are not supposed to be easy. That does not mean you should stay together, but just think about if you are trying to take the easy way out by looking again.
It's too late for my cup tonight, but hopefully you get yours.
