Can you love? I am talking romantic love here, the love between a man and woman.There are different kinds and levels of love.. friendship, parental-child, love of God…
But do you know what real love is… the love that can only be experienced between a man and a woman in a romantic bond and enduring love because of the nature of their beings and their respective bodies?
A man gives and a woman receives…
Love is deep affection and caring for another. Love is to care and nurture for the well-being of another. Love is kindness, consideration, respect, trust, compassion, forgiveness, sharing, understanding, tolerance, commitment, awareness of needs and desires.
Love is not sex. Sex is not love. Sex can be and was meant to be an expression of love in the physical body… to bring pleasure and release and in that closeness and release it’s possible that another human being be created. A child created out of love is a blessing from God.
Sex ‘can’ be an expression of love, but sex in itself, is not love.
If you think sex is love, you are lost. Mistaking sex for love can lead to much unhappiness, frustration, loss, pain and despair.
Love endures… being able to dislike the person you love, be irritated by them, argue with them, see them through their ups and downs, help them and, at times, put their needs before yours, is what love is about… but only if this is done in return… as love is a circle.
Love makes you vulnerable and many are too weak to allow themselves to be vulnerable.
When you are emotionally intimate, you share your wounds, your pain, your vulnerabilities and if that love is shared with an equal, one who has the ability to truly love, they will protect you in this regard. But an insecure, weak, immature, manipulative predator will use your vulnerability against you to their advantage and gain.. and this is not love, and should be seen for what it is and gotten away from as quickly as possible.
It’s my opinion, that until a man has a child, he may not even have a real knowing of what love is. Because until then, many men mistake sex for love, and behave accordingly and when the rush of the sex excitement diminishes, or wears off, they think that ‘love’ is gone… when it was never there in the first place.
Then the children born from a love, or children in the home, should not be put before the love between the man and woman. Children learn how to love by observing their parent’s love relationship. The bond is clearly between the two adults with the children being just outside that circle to observe and learn with the reflection of the love bestowed and showered onto the children. This observance is what makes a child feel really loved,secure within and with the knowledge of how to express love, give love and live with another. The parental example and modeling imprints a child for their whole life.
Love really begins to grow when sex takes its proper place and perspective in the relationship…
Love is commitment, honor, respect, trust, enduring, pain, happiness, joy, friendship,
A man protects. A woman nurtures.. A man creates a safe place for a woman and she blossoms. Together with their strengths and weaknesses, they thrive in joint effort and creation.
Jesus treated His mother and all women with the deepest respect. We honor all women by showing them the same love and respect that Jesus showed to women.
Women have been abused and put down by men–sometimes very crudely and cruelly. But Jesus is the perfect man, the man God wants every man to emulate. This is the kind of man God wants every woman to know in her life.
The highest reach of what love is on earth ….the merging of the male/female…

You are beautiful and smart. Love it!
You so get it. Any man who has you has a dream girl.
Well put Ayn !!!
I just love the way you write ….
I think it’s harder to accept love or to believe we deserve to be loved. To me, loving is easy, believing anyone could love me is the struggle!
2 lessons I’ve learned: 1) one of the great failings of mankind is trying to judge the heart by the package it’s in, and 2) Love is COMMITTMENT.…
WE are do shallow.
many of the things in the article is true and I agree with it, but not every thing that is written is true. There are things explained in a wrong way, i.e. when you said not until a man have a baby knows what love is,…etc. in my opinion this is wrong on my personal experience, my wife and I did not have children for many years, but we have not changed, but in fact grew stronger the longer we stayed together
Never heard this explained so well.
Very true very well written
Men and women were created to compliment and bless one another – not to be pitted against eachother and used to destroy one another
You write the coollest stuff. You are wise.
