Usually when I'm genuinly interested, I get accused of 'stirring up the pot", whatever that means. Oh well. I grew up in an atheist country, have never seen people pray for example. So, I honestly know only little about your God/Allah, etc.
Anyway, I was wondering: I'm in love. Hugely. That happens. It's up to the point where the rest of the world doesn't matter anymore. Some of you must have experienced that sort of love. The world doesn't matter anymore, you forget things, even the things that truly matter to you. People could tell me I did believe in God yesterday, for example, and I'd even believe them. I'd just think I had forgotten, because my mind is with her, 24/7.
Can a believer be so deeply in love that for a while he/she doesn't matter about his beliefs anymore? Forget God/god/gods for a while?

You know my answer to this: God is love. I don't believe there is anyway to separate God from love or love from God.
Being in love separates us from our selfishness. It makes us forget ourselves (our preoccupation with ourselves) and desire what is best for the beloved. That is the very work God calls us to do - to love others and put their needs and best interests ahead of our own wants. To be "others-centered" instead of "self-centered." (Not in a co-dependent way, of course.)

i'm able to in basic terms talk for myself. that's possible that some supernatural stress started our Universe on the super bang. no one knows the place it got here from. yet I hesitate to even resign to a supernatural stress, and that i think of that that's basically one thing we basically don't understand yet. We would not at all comprehend it, yet that doesn't propose we can call it magic. The God of the bible is what I reject, or the different human created gods. To have self assurance that somebody up in area can see and hear each and everything we do inspite of the fact it relatively is preposterous. How do we logically settle for this whilst each and everything all of us understand concerning the organic international rejects this variety of theory?

The love my wife and I share is a gift from God. My belief in God is more than an intellectual exercise. It is a relationship, as real as the one I share with my wife.
The more time I spend in prayer and meditation on God's word, the more humble I become, and the better husband. I also believe that I am capable of showing her un-conditioned love. We are free to fail, because we know that our love for each other is modeled after our God's un-conditional love. I will not abandon my wife, as my Heavenly Father has not abandoned me.

Yes that can happen to believers if they are not rooted in God first. I have that feeling for God. I can't get enough. I read everything I can get my hands on that has anything to do with getting to know Him better. I have discovered lately that is because my primary love language is "quality time". Meaning spending time with or having conversations with. I do pray for Him to bring the one He has chosen for me into my life and I believe when the time comes it all stays in perspective. You have described how we all fall in love, it does not last forever. If you want a relationship that will grow and want her to feel how much you love her, find out her love language and use it. They are Quality time, words of affirmation, touch {not sex], gifts [not necessarily expensive, or deeds of service[ such as helping with chores]. She will respond to all but one of them is the one that will really make her "feel" loved.

You are in the euphoric honeymoon stage - Congratulations! That is so nice to hear! Even if you and/or your loved one does not believe in a higher power, I believe His hand is still upon you two. I testify to that wholeheartedly. Enjoy it while it lasts - before the dust of reality settles. (Not to sound so fatalistic, but its true). Be thankful that you are in love. Many want to experience what you have.
God Bless you and your loved one!

Because God "IS" Love, it removes all obstacles. If God "IS" Love and you are a creation of God, then you cannot "fall" in Love, It is more of - When you are the Love, what else could matter.

Sweet Pea no because God is a jealous God and you shouldn't put any person or thing or other God before him. Your love ones are here for only a season but God is hear forever. God Bless!

Many believers have married disastrously outside of their faith for love.
BTW: "in love" is different from "love". What you are describing is what I would call in love. Careful to make sure the love outlives the honeymoon. :)
