“What Is Love?
Oh baby, don’t hurt me
Don’t hurt me
No more
Oh baby, don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me
No more
What is love?” – Haddaway
If we were in a room with ten people,
five males, and five females and we asked all of them what does love means to you?
They all would more likely give different answers because “LOVE” is what we learn
either from our household as we were brought up, from our peers, from watching
T. V., and or movies.
We also learn the thought/idea of “LOVE’
from songs. Some people think love is how you make them feel, if you give them
gifts, you are spending time with them, and or how good the sex is!!
I heard a lecture by The Honorable
Minister Louis Farrakhan said in the lecture,
(Love is Duty). He said, “a man can tell a woman that he loves her, but the
bills are not getting paid. He said a man shows his love by being a provider
and a protector.”
According to American Psychological
Association, “Marriage and divorce are both common experiences. In Western
cultures, more than 90 percent of people marry by age 50. Healthy marriages are
good for couples’ mental and physical health. They are also good for children;
growing up in a happy home protects children from mental, physical, educational,
and social problems. However, about 40 to 50 percent of married couples in the
United States divorce. The divorce rate for subsequent marriages is even
higher.”
According to the United States Census
Bureau, “Of the 11 million families with children under age 18, and no spouse
present, the majority are single mothers (8.5 million). Single fathers comprise
the remain 2.5 million single-parent families.
Married couples make up 68 percent of
all families with children under age 18, compared to 93 percent in 1950.”
The point of the of this blog is “LOVE”
is the answer!! To build strong families we need strong LOVE, but we must
obtain strong love by courting/dating and eventually marrying the right people.
Even though half of all marriages end in divorce but as you read the stats it
is proven that marriage is better for children, for adults, and for every one mental and physical health.
Do you believe in LOVE and to you what
is LOVE?
