True love-- everyone's searching for it. Singers sing about it. Poets write about it. Novelists create stories about it. Artists immortalize it in a drawing, a painting, a sculpture and filmmakers portray it in images larger than life.
But how do you express it?
There are many ways for you and our spouse to express your love, many ways to show each other how deeply you care. You can say it with words, with candy and flowers, with diamonds and gold. All these ways are wonderful, all should be used, but none prove your hears to be true. Not one guarantees the veracity of your love.
The only way to know if you have true love is to see whether it stands the test of time. Has it endured hardship, boredom, and pain? Has it weathered life's business? Has it withstood the pressures of job, family and home, the stresses of midlife and old age? Time alone with tell.
Sadly to say, my first marriage fail the test. I didn't last past the midlife years and so I can now say, it wasn't true love after all.
If you are just embarking on the marriage path, you'll know the level of your commitment to each other by the way you live your lives together day by day, expressing your love in each possible way through respecting each other minute by minute, hour by hour.
You will determine whether the love you have is true over time. But you need to begin now!
"Let's not just talk about love; let's practice real love. This is the only way we'll know we've loving truly, living in God's reality." 1 John 3:18-19
Con amor,
Vero
