What Does True Love Look Like_Should we look to Hollywood for answer?

At some point,every single who has fallen in love come to understand that true love in real life is different from the romanticized version of love in movies..

  It is really interesting watching the zee world kind of love or the Korea kind of love,that happens quickly and suddenly.

We sometimes confuse movies with real life love,we want it to happen quickly,like love at first sight or the world against you both and then you decide to elope into the forest,so you can love each other forever.

I remember when I started watching Korea movies,Oh Lord,the way I prayed to be loved like the girl in the movie.

   We must note that the biggest difference between the movie version of love and real life love is "time"

Movies mostly show us infatuation and not the kind of love that has been around for a while.

  No one sends you mystical sign in real life.

In real life, when you see a shooting star it's not because you've met the love of your life, it's because a meteor got stuck in our atmosphere. The universe isn't going to give you signs. If you think it is, odds are you'll be disappointed."

True love is being willing to stick with someone — not just when life throws a big pile of manure at you, but being willing to stick with someone when life throws several big piles of manure at you. And it's being willing to stick with someone when they're the one who caused the big pile of manure to be thrown at you."

True love get messy,it is not always sweet,there are times the one whom you trust to wipe the tear off your eyes will be the reason you shed the tear.

You get hurt sometimes,you get pampered sometimes as well,you get confuse at times,sometimes it feels like,you are giving too much love and receiving very little.

Movies have a finish line but in real life,you both remain stuck together either till one is dead or you both break up.

Things don’t just work out because you are attracted to someone. You have to work for it and compromise.

Hollywood can never portray true love instead it portrays infatuation but there is one who teaches us, what it means to love truly and that person is God.

This are what He taught us.

Love is patient

If we love a person, we do not easily get impatient with him/her. We should understand that our partners are not perfect, so we must not pressure them to change in one click or to perfect what we want them to do.

Love is kind.

Just like how we deal with other people we care for, we have to treat our partners kindly. Even if they could be annoying sometimes, we still have to be kind to them. That means we do not speak or act harshly towards them. We should also be thoughtful of their needs and serve them in any way we can.

Love does not envy

Love is not proud

Pride is one of the worst enemies of love. Usually, relationships do not work because either both of the couple or one of them is prideful. When conflicts happen, it is usually hard for partners to admit mistakes and apologize. However, true love is characterized by humility. We should be willing to say sorry first even if we think it is not our fault.

Love is selfless. That means we should put the needs and feelings of our loved ones before ours. We should also be willing to sacrifice time, effort, even resources for them especially in times of need. Moreover, we must not demand the same things from them. Yes, we deserve them, but if the level of affection in the relationship is the same, we do not have to express these demands. They are willingly and freely given. Have faith in the love of your partner for you.

Over and over again,the one who is Love, Himself,taught us what Love is and is not,so you are not doing yourself so much God if you sit in front of your television,learning love from some imperfect being.

Their own kind of love may look rosy and beautiful but if you ever apply them,you might end up regretting for the rest of your life.

Look into the word of God for answers and not Hollywood.
