If you "Get what you pay for" and "Love is free" Should we not expect it to fail more often than succeed

Answer 1

Well you've got a point there!And if you carefully think about it,it's kinda true also.I mean two out of three marriages end up in divorce.How many singles are out there,who claim they aren't able to find Mr/Mrs Right?How many couples do you know that stay together long enough to get married and have children?Love fails more often than it succeeds.You will ask:Why keep trying to find love then?Well the answer is simple:Cause when it succeeds,it's worth the wait!

Answer 2

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.

After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.

Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.

I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.

I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.

If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.

I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.

Love is not free. You have to earn it. You must be worthy of it. Some is easy to earn (from mom, for example); most of the time love requires patience, persistence, and nurturing care.

Getting married or going steady isn't a goal to be reached, it's the beginning of a joint project.

If it fails, you either forgot to tend it properly or you planted it in the wrong place.

Sadly, it does. But not everything is paid for in cash. Some things are paid for with heartbreak and tears and laughter.
