. . .Like A Horse and Carriage

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth. He created man as a sort of caretaker of the Earth, and then in what I will say was his greatest creation, woman.

This is a blog about love. This will not become a hack piece about love. I want to talk about a once in a lifetime love. Maybe even rarer than that.

As for everything in life, we should look to the bible to find the answers.

Proverbs 31:26 She opened her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

The woman in a loving relationship speaks with wisdom to the man in the relationship. The topic with which she speaks of wisdom is irrelevant. She speaks with the best interest of her partner at heart; therefore she would not speak foolishly.

As for the man in a loving relationship? We have all heard this. Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Simply put, his partner is the most important person in his life. More important than his parents, kids, friends, television, internet.

Too often, lust is confused for love. I believe it is such because too few of us truly understand love. My dad once described it by saying you should be more concerned by your partner than yourself.

Unfortunately, what we see is a world increasingly concerned with looks, money and power. The last few weeks will prove that by simply remembering all the coverage of the “royal” wedding. Women all over America were shown once again that it did not matter what your education level, whether you
are a moral and wholesome person or a complete scoundrel, or any of the other things that we should aspire to: instead, the spin of the wedding was her looks and his money.

Is it any wonder that the divorce rate is as high as it is? Actually, I’m surprised that the rate is not higher.

Love is NOT hard to understand, but it is sometimes hard to explain because few of us ever experience it or have it shown to us as something to emulate. Parents need to try to explain love to their children. We tend to shy away from issues involving sex and love. Kids can be exposed to
thousands of references to sex, from internet advertising to TV marketing, but how often are they exposed to love, honest and simple love? This is our failing. Until and unless we change this one simple thing, relationships between couples and God will continue to deteriorate.
