Is True Love Really Blind?

Is true love really blind? That is the question everyone wants the answer to. In a perfect world love should always be blind. You should love someone not for what you can see on the outside, but for how he or she makes you feel on the inside. When you truly, deeply love someone you will be able to see them through faults and all. You should be able to forgive and forget.

You will be able to compromise and settle your differences because of the truth that is your love. Love is the reason that people that have differences are able to find each other and live happily ever after. I have found that it is best to reach for a lover that sees you on the inside as well. Looks fade and attitudes shift, but when you truly love someone you will be able to fall again and again blindly and with haste. There are no rules in love. You can love someone at first sight, you can love someone in a month, or maybe you can't fall for a year...but eventually when you fall whatever your time table is it will be the best fall if it is done blindly and with faith. Faith is the cornerstone of any relationship. You have to have faith in yourself, faith in your partner, and faith in LOVE! Blindly loving someone is the only way to truly love someone. It allows for the possibility of a happily ever after!

Is Love Making Right Before Marriage?

Positives and Negatives
"Is it ok to have premarital sex?" That is a common question among teens and engaged couples. Perhaps you are in a relationship that is progressing in that direction, but you're not sure what to do. In your mind, you are probably weighing the pros and cons of premarital sex. On the positive side of the scale, there is acceptance from your peers, hope for pleasure, and the fulfillment of sexual desires. The negative side of the scale carries the weights of morals, fear of pregnancy or disease, and guilt. How do these scales balance? What is the right decision? Let's take a look at some of the facts.

Is it Moral?
Morality is a factor for many people when deciding whether or not to have premarital sex. Is it a factor for you? After all, the messages we receive from most TV shows and movies these days tells us "everyone is doing it." In light of today's permissive attitude, your peers may think you're weird to even question it.

But maybe there is something inside you, like a voice in your head, that is making you uncertain about whether or not sex before marriage is a right or wrong action. Many people refer to this voice as their conscience. How can you know if your "conscience" is right? People all around the world look to the Bible as a moral or religious book, so let's see what it says about premarital sex.

The Bible refers to premarital sex as fornication. That's a word we don't hear much these days, so what does it mean? Fornication is sexual intercourse between people who are not married to each other. The only distinction the Bible makes between premarital sex and adultery is that adultery involves married persons while fornication involves those who are unmarried. Premarital sex is just as much of a sin as adultery and all other forms of sexual immorality. They all involve having sexual relations with someone you are not married to.

The Bible explains, "…The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body" (1 Corinthians 6:13). Verse 18 of this chapter goes on to say, "Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body." Galatians 5:19 speaks the same, "The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity…" Ephesians 5:3 says it most plainly, "But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people." From these verses, we see that the Bible promotes complete and total abstinence from premarital sex.
