Hi there everyone, we learned so really interesting stuff this week going off of what I talked about last week. I talked about some common practices today like living together and having sex before marriage and how this can be detrimental to a couple as they move toward the marriage phase of their relationship. But it occurred to me that I didn't even talk about love. I know right!? What a loser. Anyways, there are many different kinds of love and many different ways of expressing it too. To start with I especially like a comment our professor made today about the phrase "falling in love". He said "I really am rather against the idea of falling in love, as failing in love opens up the possibility of falling out of love." I think this is so true. If we treat love like something that just happens without any choice of our own, then consequently we have no control over wether or not we stay "in love". Conversely if we choose to love someone, accepting both their pros and cons, then we can control how long we stay in love with them. Anyways, just a few thoughts for this week. Remember, doing your part in any relationship is the one thing you can control 100%. Don't worry about that which you have no control over. Peace.
