My brother is getting married this weekend. In preparation, I've been reading up on passages that people recite during wedding ceremonies for inspiration. The thing is, I still don't feel like I understand how you know you truly love someone. How is it different from being good friends?
I want to leave these two writings as thoughts for the weekend.
A passage from First Corinthians, chapter 13:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
From Ann Landers:
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows, one day at a time. It is quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It gives you strength and grows beyond you to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by his presence, even when he is away. Miles do not separate you. But near or far, you know he is yours and you can wait. Love means trust. You are calm, secure and unthreatened. He feels your trust, and it makes him even more trustworthy.
