Good communication is vital in a relationship. “Be swift about hearing, slow about speaking.” ( James 1:19) A survey of more than 20,000 couples showed that the happiest people were those whose partners were good listeners.
Consider a few examples of Bible principles that help us to love and be loved. ( 1 John 4:8) His love moves him to teach this quality to all who are willing to learn. Jehovah is the God of love, the highest authority on the subject. Yes, “there is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.”- Acts 20:35. Also, you will experience happiness in doing the right thing, in giving of yourself for others. For one thing, you will be more loved by your family, friends, marriage mate, or prospective marriage mate. Jesus said: “All things, therefore, that you want men to do to you, you also must likewise do to them.” ( Matthew 7:12) It is not always easy to show love, yet the effort is worth it. How do you feel when someone is kind to you or when he or she accepts you despite the little irritating things you may say or do? Are you not drawn to a person who is sincerely concerned about you, who is not easily angered, and who is forgiving and truthful even when forgiveness and honesty are not easy? It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. Note Paul’s words: “Love is long-suffering and kind. He revealed that love is dynamic, that it is defined, not by emotions, but primarily by what it does for others and by what it refrains from doing. How can we do that? Writing under the guidance of God’s holy spirit, the apostle Paul answered that question. ( Luke 6:38) Simply put, if you want to be loved, show love. “Practice giving, and people will give to you,” Jesus taught. What does help is showing unselfish love to others. Of course, it is natural and proper to care about how we look, but beauty-which is temporary at best-is not the cement of lasting bonds. What can you do to find love and to become more lovable, and not just in a romantic sense? Get rich? Improve your physical appearance?īOTH men and women, seduced by advertising and influenced by the media, often look to such goals as solutions.
