True Love Is Not....

SEX!
True love is NOT based on sexual love.
Many people confuse LOVE with sex,
and this is a very sad situation.
Those who are engaged
in premarital sex will not be able
to distinguish "true love" when their emotions
are all tied up with sexual love.
Sex is a gift from God
reserved strictly for marriage!
Likewise, those who want to marry
just to fulfill a sexual need
are always disappointed!
Many married couples with children
find very little time for intimacy,
especially during the early childhod years.
If your relationship is based on sex
before and/or after marriage,
you can be sure problems will arise!
True love combined with sexual love
between two married people
is a wonderful gift from God,
important to the oneness of the relationship,
but NOT the end all to "married life"!
If you take one thing from this site to your heart,
it is my sincerest hope you will hear this message.
Marriage is so much more than "SEX"!
Making this your priority or basing your marriage on this
will ALWAYS lead to heartache. Keep sex in perspective
as to what God has intended it to be! Otherwise,
you will find yourself never sastified.....
and the result is devastating!

What You See!
True love is NOT found on the outside!
You know the old story....
"You can't judge a good book by its cover!".
Marrying someone because they are "good looking"
and that reflects well on you, will not bring you happiness!
True love looks at people from the inside,
this is where "true beauty" lies,
make no mistake about this one!
People who "seem" average on the outside
become above average when you get to know
the real person that lives inside.
There are many, many single people
who would make fabulous mates,
but are overlooked because
they won't make the cover of your favorite magazine.
Being outwardly focused will always lead to heartache!
The message here is that true Love rests
deep inside within the heart, NEVER on the outside!
We must turn our eyes inward when seeking a lifetime mate!
What you don't see.......is exactly what you get!!
Rescuing!
True love is NOT ruining your life
because someone has a problem.
Everyone is responsible for their own
life, actions and decisions.
If someone's decisions in life
is making you "crazy" or
you are trying to control their behavior,
you are more than likely
hurting them and yourself.
True love can only lie in the person
who takes care of themself.
Are you putting your life
and happiness in jeopardy
because of someone else's bad behavior?
If your considering marriage
and you are presently unhappy,
controlling, enabling, or pushing aside
someones bad behavior,
you will find yourself in a world of misery!
It is NOT LOVE to "rescue" someone
from their own decisions!!!
Everyone must pay their own consequences
for their own actions! You cannot "save" someone from themself.
Selfish!
True love is NOT selfish! Selfish people make miserable mates!
True love finds itself in unselfish people.
Unselfish people know they get the most
joy out of life when they give to others.
There is no better joy in this world than to give.
Selfish people care only about themselves
and what they have and want.
Meeting each others needs is so very important
in a healthy marriage. Selfish people will find it impossible
to give you what YOU may need because their needs
will always come first!
Monetary!
True love is NOT measured in dollars!
No amount of money in the world will bring you true love!
The love of money is the "root of all evil!"
Money makes people do things that they would not normally do.
If you think you have to marry money
find love and to have a good marriage
and/or your problems will go away, you are sadly mistaken!
Problems just get more expensive with money!
Low Self Worth!
True love is NOT found in an unhealthly self esteem!
How many people in this world believe
that love will make them happy! If you are not happy now,
no one else can bring that to you! You need to find your own love
in yourself before you can adequately love anyone else.
There is a terrible fairly tale out there that says
"just find a man/woman" then, you'll be happy.
Happy marriages are found in two people
who already love and care about who they are now.
They are not looking for a partner to "prove" they are loveable.
Likewise, when you feel inside that you are worthy....
you will make better choices. People who are hurting
and feel unloved sometimes will turn to the first person
to come along to fill the emptiness they feel.
More than likely this will not result in a healthy marriage.
If you find yourself in this situation you need to step back
from relationships and work deep inside yourself t
o find the root cause of your unhappiness. Until then,....
you will not be able to make the best choice
you deserve to make for yourself!
Verbally or Physically Abusive!
True love is NOT abusive! Without a doubt,
any type of abusive behavior by either person
is NOT LOVE! Love is the gentleness of the human heart!
Love does not bear pain. Intentional pain inflicted
"out of Love" is as far away from the truth you can get.
Love builds up, never tears down!
Verbal or physical abuse is an illness
regardless of the reason someone may give for inflicting it.
This type of behavior is never a candidate for marriage.
ANY type of abuse before marriage is a guarantee
to continue when married. Counseling for the abuser
is the ONLY next step there is!

(i have some things to work on - yes indeed)
