What is love? I once heard a celebrity say that love is when you close your eyes and you see the face of the person you love. What happens when you close your eyes again, but you don’t see the person’s face anymore? What happens when your eyes are wide open, but you don’t want to see the person’s face?
I’ve also heard that love is that feeling you get in your belly. You know that feeling. The sensation that I’ve heard some people say they feel in their gut when they are around the object of their affection. Sometimes I wonder if that feeling is gas. Nothing a little Pepto Bismol can’t take care of.
Yes, I understand the euphoria that often accompanies love. I also acknowledge that there is a romantic aspect of love. A part of love that is necessary for healthy and lasting, Godly relationships. But do feelings define genuine love? Or does genuine love define feelings? While I know that there is more to love than we can comprehend, I recently addressed the subject briefly in the While You Are Single podcast. You can listen to the three-part series below:
