True Love

First off, if a relationship is nothing but seriousness all the time that's a Red Flag. Dating/Courting should be about enjoying each other's presence and seeing the good in each other.
God specifically says in the Bible that men should love the wives as Christ loved the church. And what did Jesus do for the church? He gave his life up.. when they mocked and doubted that He was the King of all Kings. Did He want to? No. But, God asked it of Him and He obeyed. Your boyfriends/husbands aren't always going to want to do things for you, but when they do, praise them, respect them, and show them that you appreciate what they do for you. Because a true man of God will love you like Jesus loves us. But being his partner, we should return the love with respect, loyalty, and appreciation. Because also in this chapter it talks about how us ladies (virtuous women) should return the love with respect.

- Ephesians 5:25-29
²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her ²⁶ to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, ²⁷ and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. ²⁸ In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. ²⁹ After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church—

I came across a great passage about TRUE LOVE and I'll post it below:

"Love puts the fun in together, the sad in apart, the hope in tomorrow, the joy in a heart.
I like that. It's true that love gives us joy in being together. When we can't be together with the ones we love, we're sad, for love always desires closeness. What exactly is love? It's hard to define, isn't it? More than just an emotion or passion, love is a commitment to care.
When two single people are attracted to each other, a spark ignites their relationship. This may be intense at first, but it can't truly be called love yet because they still don't know each other deeply. As they spend time together sharing their innermost selves, the attraction grows. They discover respect for each other's ideas, common life goals, and an ever growing desire to spend the rest of their lives together.
More than the warm, happy feelings love gives us, love also drives us to sacrifice for each other. True love is unselfish. In fact, if you want a description of true love, you can do no better than that famous chapter in the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13 says,
Love is patient and kind. Love isn't jealous or boastful, not proud or rude. It doesn't demand its own way. It isn't irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice, but rejoices whenever the truth wins. Love NEVER gives up, it never loses faith, it's always hopeful, and it endures through every good and bad circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NLT"


Now, THAT is true love.
