Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
I Corinthians 13:4-8

How true is this? What is your opinion and views? Why the increase in divorce rate when love never fails?

  1. I start the ball rolling by starting off with myself. It is still a question mark and this is still a mystery, but it ought to be true. Love Will Lead You Back, www.peaceinspire.com/2007/09/27/love-will-lead-you-back/ If your heart has love, you will always think of what you love, consciously and unconsciously. God knows what you want and if you pray for it, you will get what you want if you work towards it.

    My marriage may not be the most perfect, but it were once failed. It was a broken family. However, after some time, years, perhaps Love, and of course other factors, have brought the family together again. It is a miracle, never think of and never expected.
  2. Love needs to be nurtured. I think the divorce rate is so high because we get too focused on being productive - it becomes a priority. Many people really do love each other but just can't keep it together. I think it's all about focus.

    Is that a little puppy photo?
    1. yes, i love dogs
  3. Love is definitely THE thing to focus on. It's quit easy to get the eyes off because the world and we ourselves are usually getting into a kind of mess.

    Focussing on love, on the how to, this daily challenge gives us a real opportunity to pull out.

    I cannot count the many times, that love kind of saved my life. Love reflected by loving people, thus meaning people that kind of 'jumped over their own shadow' to look at others and care about them.

    Thank you for getting this ball rolling!
    Truly, Love never fails. Sometimes it's a hard task to remain or be a loving person. It becomes a spiritual fight, maybe also a fight against a selfish self. OK, sorry, I keep it short.
    Love IS a subject.
  4. The power of love is a common denominator in many miraculous recoveries from accidents and illnesses...
    1. Why don't we love our way out of Genocide and War? I think we've almost done that historically through some sort of near cosmic consciousness..I loved the 70's.
  5. Hi friends,
    I think the above quote about love by the Apostle Paul in I Corinthians 13 is one of the greatest descriptions of love ever penned.

    Love is not self-seeking and keeps no record of wrongs.

    These two aspects of love seem critical to me. I believe the high rate of divorce is because these two aspects of love are not being practiced in many marriage relationships. I know I've struggled with them, but I'm always drawn back to them during times of reflection. When my own selfishness and unforgiveness dominate my attitude and feelings and actions towards my wife, I know I am in big trouble because my love has started to grow cold. Selfishness and unforgiveness will destroy and kill a truly loving relationship or marriage because they are poison and death to a living, loving, accepting, and forgiving relationship.
  6. Love seems to be
    something like that…

    You open the shutters
    see your neighbor
    and say good morning.
    Love seems to be something like that.

    You feel the joy another feels
    for what he achieved,
    what you are still striving toward.
    Love seems to be something like that.

    You try and find the one who hides
    his misfortune in the dignity of silence.
    To grant him
    not what you imagine he is asking for
    but what you owe him:
    a little of your time,
    and companionship, your concern.
    Love seems to be something like that.

    You reveal the bounty of your heart
    offer up a rose:
    your good word
    to the one just looking for a chance
    to speak ill of you.
    Love seems to be something like that.

    .....................................................

    All of that good and well
    but other things more pressing now;
    we were told there are
    far weightier matters within Law:
    our salvation, the saving of our soul.
    Which is why we must set aside the minor ones
    and dedicate ourselves solely to our destination.
    “Woe unto you, lawyers”!
  7. I believe LOVE is what it's all about when it comes to life and living! Check out my blog www.leslielovinlife.blogspot.com for more!
  8. i think the divorce rate increases because we marry for the wrong reasons. it's the age-old question that still seems to be the defining one - marrying for money or marrying for love? Austen asked it back then and who knew it'd still be a question today. sometimes the one you love (particularly if you're a woman) might not be "marraige material". translation - doesn't have the right job, the right assets, etc. etc. this becomes a huge issue and so you find yourself choosing marriage material over love. the fact is in this world it's hard for love to survive when couples fight over economics and social security. but i believe in love enought to know that there's always the exception to this.
