Love and Marriage by Dr. Myles Munroe. The most misunderstood element in a relationship is love. We do not know about love. We are ignorant about what love is. Actually, we have four types of love:
- Philio, brotherly love
- Sterego, friendly love
- Eros, erotic love, sexual love or fleshly love
- Agape, Divine love
Agape is a kind of love that is not normal. This is the kind of love that makes it possible to forgive someone who commits adultery on you. You cannot get back with a person who breaks trust with you with Philio. You cannot make up with someone who breaks trust with you with Eros. In fact, no other kind of love can do that – only Agape; and God has given to the believer to have Agape.
Only Agape makes a permanent relationship possible. Every other love will produce a temporary relationship. So you cannot really experience God’s promise of marriage which is permanent until death do us apart without God’s material which is Agape ……. Click the video to learn more
Loving someone is not a feeling but a choice by Dr. Myles Munroe
Love is not a feeling. Love is a force generated by a decision. Love has no feelings. If God responded to you the way He felt about what you did to Him, you would not have been redeemed today. True love has no feelings; it is a choice. Remember that feelings are caused by chemicals and chemicals change every five seconds. So if I love you just because I feel like I love you, you might lose my love in five seconds. Have you ever heard this before? – We fell out of love, we do not love each other anymore. That means the chemicals changed. …. Some women are under pressure trying to keep their husband’s eyes on them; it is because those men do not know what love is.
Love is a choice. Love is an act of the will. We keep thinking that love is some emotional concoction deep in the soul; love is a decision. You can decide to love your enemies. If you do not believe me ask Jesus. He said, “Love your enemies.” It is a command and you obey a command out of the will. ….. Click the video to learn more
