Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames." - Thomas Moore
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.Hosea 4:6 (ASV)
When I was much younger I heard of what it meant to fall in love, especially having to watch romantic films as they are called, placing a kind of scenario in my mind that was just 'heavenly'. I thought to myself that if this was what love felt like then I would be so glad to experience it. Little did I know that what I had learnt isn't what love really means until I found myself in it.
A kind of love that comes upon one like a thief in the night, unexpectedly. One that sweeps you off your feet and you can't trace its path but knows it has taken a hold of you. One that lessens your common sense and obscures your judgment of reasoning. One that makes you act in ways you never thought you could or even imagined.
A kind of love that makes you do things to the praise of just one person whom you claim to have falling in love with whilst shutting out almost all the people in your life that have loved you and have been there for you over the years. A kind of love that quickly builds castles in the air but leaves you to find out, sooner or later that you were only a princess or a prince in your dreams.
Yeah,I just gave a compendium of what romantic love does to anyone. It seems sweet but turns out sour. This is the kind of love that is not founded on the only one true source of love and until we all get to understand that this type of love shouldn't be the foundation of any relationship,then it is obvious that many ill dangers and heart breaks are still lurking around us.
The sooner we understand and also get others to know and understand that true love (agape) is the only form or better still, the main source of love while every other type of love which you must have heard of (real love, romantic love, friendship love, love at first sight etc) are either an expression, offshoot of the main source or an imitation.
This is so because they are not sufficient in themselves to ensure lasting love if they do not hail from and are not attached to agape, the main source. It's like cutting off a branch from its vine and expecting it to produce fruits because you have placed it in a rich soil. You and I know it's going to die in no time.

**Knowledge of what and how a love relationship should be (as it is in the mind of God) is the key to a long lasting love relationship. It is said that the application of knowledge is wisdom.
The application of these truths is profitable to keep your body,spirit and soul in one piece for true love's sake.
Scripture says the lack of knowledge is the reason why God's people (those with whom everything should be well) are impoverished, molested by the negative situations plaguing the rest of the world and disadvantaged.
Dear friend, make up your mind not to be ignorant. Make effort to study and apply yourself to learning. Please know that we might have power over our actions but we never have the power over their consequences. Therefore, let your actions be driven by the right knowledge.
