How do you tell the difference between what your head and heart are saying?

Answer 1

I think you need to find out what true love really is and isn't. Read in the Bible I Corinthians 13 "The Love Chapter" where it says love is patient and kind and seeks not is own way at the expense of others. It isn't boastful or proud and always believes in the positive. This love is such that it would gladly give its own life to save the life of another. It says of faith, hope and love that the greatest is love. This love takes time and effort to develop. If you can't wait for it, then it isn't love speaking, but something else which could lead you into trouble. It is this kind of love that has kept my wife and I married for over 28 years. Not having this kind of love is the main reason the divorce rate is so high. When you are practicing this kind of love, both head and heart will be in harmony together without any dispute. If there is a dispute between head and heart, then there is something wrong somewhere that needs to be resolved.

Answer 2

You don't. Each of us is forever doomed to be confounded by that oftentimes apparent dichotomy. A romantic will tell you to follow your heart. A realist will tell you to obey the dictates of reason and sense. But most of us chose something in the middle. For it is impossible to deny the heart, no matter how much sense it would make to do so.

Answer 3

your is head telling you the common sense thing you know is the right thing to do that will kick your a##. your heart tells you the self destructive thing you want to do you know is wrong but don't care if you do.

Answer 4

Which ever one that is telling you "don't do it" or "something is wrong" is your brain. Listen to your brain, your heart will always get you in trouble, and you'll regret it later.
