Definition:
Love is an intense feeling of deep affection for others.
Biblically we know that there are three kinds of love which are:
(Agapeo, Eros, Phileo)
1) God's love for human beings (Agapeo):
Agapé love, from the Greek Agapao, designates true love, unconditional love, love without interest; But only God can love us like this without any interest. It is the love of God.
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
The true meaning of agape love is mentioned in:
(1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
Love is patient, love is kind. He does not envy, he does not boast, he is not proud. 5 He does not dishonor others, he is not selfish, he does not get angry easily, he does not keep track of wrongs. 6 Love does not rejoice in evil but rejoices in truth. 7 He always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
2) The love of men between men {Phileo}:
also called love of neighbor or charity.
3) The love of man and woman {Eros}:
The love of Eros. In Greek mythology, Eros is the god of love and amorous desire. The Bible speaks of this love to designate the love between a man and a woman. The term Eros therefore designates the physical attraction between two people. It is a carnal love, it is perishable because it is based on the passions of the flesh.
It is Sentimental and emotional love. This type of love is based on the feelings and emotions of human beings. It is often an unstable and variable, even changing love. It can go up or down depending on the weather or the mood of the house and the seasons you are going through as a couple.
(Ephesians 5:25)
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
Here are the three big things that often kill and poison love in a relationship; and when the devil wants to destroy your couple he will often try to unleash his three things against you to destroy the love in your couple and try to install hatred which is the opposite of love.
1) The difficult period:
When you have a good time in your couple, you will notice that one of the things that will characterise it will be the rise of love in your hearts.
And when the hard times come it's usually during those hard times that love starts to affect itself in your heart and if you don't pay attention and take the time to nurture it, it can decrease or even die completely in your heart and relationship.
This is what often makes people say that I can no longer love him as I should because the love is no longer there in his heart, and he no longer feels anything when he is with his husband or his wife. remember that the love of man and woman is an affective and sentimental love and that all that is sentimental is always unstable.
You should know that love is something very sensitive and fragile, which is why every day it must be well maintained to continue to be dynamic and in perfect health in your couple.
Couples who do well in difficult times and who manage to keep the love intact in their hearts are mature couples who know how to manage and overcome their difficult times together.
NB: Maturity in a couple is not just one person's business, you must both be mature, because if you are mature and you are in a relationship with a baby, there will always be misunderstandings. This is why it is very important that you contract the marital bond with a mature person. Because a mature person is a wise person. In the Bible, maturity is always linked to wisdom.
It is written in the Bible:
(Proverbs 27:12)
The wise see evil and hide; The simple advance and are punished.
(Proverbs 14:16)
The wise are restrained and turn away from evil,
According to these two bible verses, the wise man is above all one who has the ability to see evil from afar and takes measures to protect himself and his home.
Second, the wise is one who has self-control with the ability to avoid evil.
In the couple, the sage is the one who has the ability to avoid misunderstandings, quarrels, useless discussions and all kinds of arguments that can lead to the destruction of peace, joy and love in his foyer.
NB: for a couple who thinks prosperous and accomplishes great things, these three things which cannot be bought with money, I quote: peace, joy and love are very important and cost a huge investment in term of effort to build it in your family. And the wise one is the one who makes sure that this investment is protected and the house is safe.
It is written in the Bible:
{Proverbes 14:1}
The wise woman builds her house, And the foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.
Here I would first like to say that for a house to be built, it always requires the participation of both parties, that is, the man and the woman of course, acknowledging that the woman always has a great role to play for the construction of this house which is the family.
And the Bible emphasises that the fool is the one who overthrows with his own hands what he himself has built with so much suffering. In this kind of relationship it will be possible that you continue to go around in circles without any advancement because when you want build she will bring it down by his madness.
