Love's low standards.

A year ago, I had no idea what God's intention for relationships between a man and a woman was supposed to be like. I knew there was a feeling to it...but I didn't know where that feeling was supposed to go...what route it was meant to take. So I set out on a quest to understand it...the result? I'm amazed at how society has watered down this connection. How society has perverted it. It turned something so beautiful into something so superficial. No wonder there are so many divorces these days...we have lost the true essence of love.

We've taken something that was meant to be for an unselfish cause into a selfish one.

Something divine, into something maligned

Something that we desire with our hearts, into something we lust after

Something pure, into something dirty

When couples break up these days, instead of cherishing memories together and thinking about what they need to improve about themselves, they point out everything wrong about the other person, and insist they need someone better for themselves.

Instead of thinking of the present and focusing on learning things and having fun together, the subject of marriage always is pressured.

Instead of wanting to become a better person for them, they focus on how the other can be a better person for themselves.

Instead of expressing love in your own authentic way, there's lists of things a girl likes a guy to do, and they follow it.

My frustration at the world's standard for love is endless.

It's such a low standard.
