“In Love”
When we first meet each other we have a feeling of euphoria and everything is perfect. This is the feeling we long to experience and we search for it during our entire life. It is the thing God gives us to allow us to meet someone and fall in love.
This “in love” experience is what introduces us to our mate. It allows us to see past their faults and idiosyncrasies. Then we get married while in this phase of love.
After marriage, the in love experience leaves and now our feet are flat on the ground. All of those “cute” things now get on our nerves. We declare that this is not the same person we fell in love with. There has been an invasion of the body snatchers and they left this person for me.
This is just a precursor to that great love that Jesus desires for us. Now that we have gotten over the “in love” obsession, we can now focus on getting into the choice to love. We begin to create an environment for love to grow and flourish. It is at this time in the relationship the couple has to come together and discuss what love means to each of them.
It then becomes the choice of the spouse to comply. It is a wonderful thing to have someone that chooses to love you and make your dreams come through in Christ. So don’t give up and don’t desire “what we used to have”. You really want something deeper and more meaningful.
