Preparing for Marriage


"Love is patientlove is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angeredit keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres"
Last week we talked about preparing for marriage in the chapter, "falling in love" I thought it was interesting to read about the different types of love in the greek language, apage,eros, storage, and phillia. In class we were asked, which of those love is correct? I think everyone came to a consent that not one of those words were the right kind of love by itself, rather it was a combination of all of them. Although this is true, I also think love is different for everyone. Love can mean different things that is why we fall for different people. Love can mean something different at different times, that is why we fall for different people. How much easier would it be if we hard a different word for each different kind of love in English? I think there is a reason why we just have the word love. Love is complex, but at times it can also be simple. I think if we had different words for love we could not grasp the whole meaning of the word. I think love has different aspect, like the  quote above is talking about it. Just like when we are dating we are searching for different traits of a person, when you fall in love there is different attributes.
