What Do You Wish Someone Had Told You About Love? by Haynnie: 11:27am On Nov 18, 2023
There are alot of things I really had wish someone tell me about love than experiencing it first hand. Well, I would have doubted some of these things if haven't had the experience but now, is too late to regret my actions for my foolishness. I've moved on and I've grown better to understand that love is not just a mere word. It holds alot weight and it's deeper down it seems.

P.S- I don't know but I might be contradicted by my writeup but still doesn't change the perspective of how I view love as cus is sometimes complicated to understand this feeling

I wish someone told me about the sacrifices I'd make to keep the feeling afloat. I never thought it would be to a stage where you choose between two important things, compromise, tolerance and time. I wish I've known this earlier I would have made measures to avoid it's path till I'm emotionally matured to take on these things.

I wish I had known love is nothing but a delusion of what we feel as it is of our thinking of the opposite person and the behaviour exhibited which is processed to make us feel there's an attraction towards this certain person that made it feel unique and pleasing in your mind. Once you took the bait of liking that person and it starts growing, your subconsciousness takes it from there. Where you start doing things aligned to win the heart of that person either by foolish gestures or by intents to capture the person's heart just as you have had your own heart shot by Cupid's arrow.

I wish I had learn how to not give trust completely. How would you feel if someone you trust take an overturn on you? How would you feel if the one you love had skeletons in their cupboard and you find out the worst way? Would be matured enough to handle betrayal or a cheat? I leave you to answer this or experience this so you can understand what I'm asking.

I wish I was told spending too much financially when you are in love is part of keeping the love going. Is true when you are in love there's no way you are not going to spend money anyways on who you love. Either by gifting or out of generosity. I get it, but how'd would someone you love would want you to prove love through financial means when there are other ways to prove it? Reason why I think love is a scam from our delusion to think most of what matters in having feelings for someone is to show your wealth or materialistic value as part of tge assurance that "love is not enough." Don't get me wrong about not spoiling who you love with what you can afford but if foolishly be in love and you are doing above your means would not only jeopardize you but would crumble the concept of love that was originally instilled. So don't love foolishly so you don't spend foolishly.

I wish I had known love takes two to work and not the ONEitis you get involved in. Like you being in a lopsided relationship where everything falls on you to keep the relationship sailing and the other is just not showing effort but getting gratification from you can do. Infact most times it ends up the one in a lopsided relationship is being used and it's sad to see one in an unhealthy romantic feeling. If you have had this experience you would know what I'm talking about.

I wish I had known love would make you loose sight off, things, reality and the truth. "Love is blind" is a common phrase all over the world and do you know what it means to be blind in love? It means give up the truth, accept your delusions, go with you see now and love with it. Love would make you choose the person that that's not your worth, it would make you do the most craziet things without you feeling judged by your conscience, it will mske you absdon the truth and defend your inverted reality. It will feel as if I'm talking bad about love but it is the truth one needs to know before you experience love. No, this is what you will face when you are in love.
There are difference between love blindly and blind in love. Although there might be similarities between these two but the difference comes in point of view.

I wish I had known falling in love at a young age is nothing but distraction to your goals and a waste of time. When at the age you are supposed to be developing yourself, you are busy looking for who to love you or who to love because you don't love yourself enough to find it in you. You believe the love you don't have others will give it to you but is not so. When distraction comes in, you won't be able to focus properly on what you intend to do with your life. Is either you are thinking the person that sends butterflies to your stomach whenever you see their pictures or when you meet , having a swell time together. Your mind would be running on how to keep the relationship steady or how to please the 0erson when next you are meeting again. It takes a fully matured mind to harness the power of love. If at a young age you go into love, depends on the situation and wmthe mindset you have is a case of probability of what will happen but is clear that at a young age it will not go well (for some people though).

I wish I had known that "we get the love we think we deserve." Yes, we attract the kind of lovers we think would be the one. If you love blindly you will understand what I mean. So, the love you think you attract might not really be the love you really want.

Love is a beautiful thing if really people show not only the finest bliss in relationship but the rough and bad part of it is what makes it an art to behold. Love will teach you patience, endurance, tolerance, pain, pleasure, wisdom, foolishness and all that there is in it.

What do you wish someone had told you about love?
You can as well add yours.

I wish I Knew early that love is not enough.

I wish I knew early that being a good person doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be loved, you’ll be used.

I wish I knew early that the rules of love have changed, “Together forever” has been changed

I wish I knew early that looks can be deceiving. People will perfectly camouflage into what they know you want just to get what they want from you.

I wish I knew early that you could be jilted for just no reason.

I wish I knew early that once distance sets in, your relationship is 70% compromised.

Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,
— Ephesians 5:22-29

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.” Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
— Genesis 2:18-22

There are so many I could copy and paste from in some chapters and verse from scriptures in Genesis, Exodus, Colossians, 1 peter, Songs of songs etc.

How do you think God in His Sovereign wisdom will create the marriage institution and would not give us the manual on how to go about it in His word.

Stop lying abeg! undecided

The first you posted is supposedly an opinion expressed by Paul's regarding the issue of submission, a cause which God had earlier placed on marriage since after man fell. If you had not ignorantly depended on search filters you would have realized how Paul's supposed statement directly contradicts God in the same Scripture. undecided

The second passage, as Jesus Christ explained to you in His Gospel was God's prescription in the beginning, before sin entered into the picture and changed everything leading to God placing the curse of submission on marriage. undecided

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
— 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

There are no contradictions in the bible, if you don't understand a text, study, compare scripture with scripture, pray that God teach you what the text is saying, you can also lookup and read trusted commentaries on it.

Submission in marriage is now seen as a curse, wow. Okay so is the Husband loving a wife also a curse then? This is nowhere stated in the bible that women willingly reverencing their husband seen as a curse. This is nonsense talk and adding to scripture.

1. All scripture is inspired DOES NOT implies that all scripture is the Truth of God. I can't now quote statements made by Satan in scripture and conclude it too is the truth of God, can I? In the same way, it is foolishness to assert that what amounts to an opinion expressed by a man is equally the truth of God because it is written in Scripture. undecided

2. Stop lying! Right off the bat one ought to at least know the words of Satan directly contradict the Word out of God's mouth written in Scripture. So, why the lie? undecided

I believe you understand what that text is saying; it isn't implying you take the verse that includes the words of Satan, like the Fall in Genesis, His rebellion in Heaven in Isaiah, or the permission to test Job in the book of Job and say it's God's word. And the letters of the Apostles are not expressions or suggestions by man; study them and compare them. They equally reveal the character and nature of God to us.

Again, direct quotes from the devil, like Isaiah 14:12–15, are not God's own words, but they are shown in His words to teach us something. This is why the point of 2 Tim 3:16–17 still stands.

That verse shows the rebellion of women as a result of the fall the desire to usurp the authority of the men God has placed over them and its clearly seen all around us visibly in the face of FEMINISM, Women no longer want to stay under a man, they want to be independent, they want to take over men, and they've succeeded in making the men effeminate, no longer willing to rule them. This is why we now have things like equality in marriage, women pastors, women presidents, and women governors, etc., and men nowadays see nothing wrong with that.

Common now! If someone is talking to you, and as that person speaks, he or she describes an event, won't he or she not tell you what the character says in that event to give you the context and meaning of that event?

Yes scripture says it, and it's true: ALL MEANS ALL, and it gives reason why in that same verse and the next after it.

Read up the chapter and its preceding chapter and see that it describes the the king of Babylon and how the city will fall even though it's a great city and it juxtaposes it with that of how Lucifer fell. Read your bible and pray for the spirit of understanding, and stop cherry picking verses out of context to suit your false ideologies.

Also, in some demonic and mystical books, I once heard that there are verses from the Bible, especially the Torah, found in them (I didn't care to confirm). But if true, because of that, should we say those books are God-breathed and contain truth just because of those verses from the Torah found there?

Right off the top of my head I will say the lies are there to paint for us a realistic idea that is reality — lies are everywhere. So, back to the question!

Again, because Satan's lies are equally recorded in the book for what you believe is to teach a lesson or describe an event, though lies, they become the Word of God? Explain yourself! undecided

As I've mentioned before, the text is given against the king of Babylon as it juxtapose Satans ambition to overthrow God.
It shows the speaker in question wants to be like God in power and authority. Simply put, he would like to be God, ruling the universe with unopposed might.

How does it now apply to us.
The desire to be like God in Holiness is not a bad thing as it's commanded by God to us in scripture to live Holy but a lust for Power and authority to control and dominate in evil prideful ways and ambition comes from an evil heart, which also includes selfishness, envy, pride, rebellion etc. And those who live like that are of their father the devil.

1. Your assertions continue to make no scriptural sense to me. undecided

If you had, in fact, read Isaiah 14 beginning from verse 1, you would have come to realize that the words you condemn in this manner, were spoken, not by Satan but by God Himself and God meant it as a dirge against the King of Babylon— Nabonitus aka Belshazzar at the time —, so, am I to take it that you don't believe God's very own proclamation in that context? undecided

2. All this here amounts to nothing more than religious ramblings though which have absolutely nothing to do with answering the question I asked nor addressing the issue at hand. undecided


So, again, my question to you, because Satan's lies are equally recorded in the book for what you believe is to teach a lesson or describe an event, through lies, they become the Word of God? Explain yourself! undecided
3 The devil came to tempt him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these rocks to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered him, “The Scriptures say, ‘It is not just bread that keeps people alive. Their lives depend on what God says.’”
5 Then the devil led Jesus to the holy city of Jerusalem and put him on a high place at the edge of the Temple area.
6 He said to Jesus, “If you are the Son of God, jump off, because the Scriptures say,‘God will command his angels to help you, and their hands will catch you, so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.’”
7 Jesus answered, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”
8 Then the devil led Jesus to the top of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and all the wonderful things in them.
9 The devil said, “If you will bow down and worship me, I will give you all these things.
10 Jesus said to him, “Get away from me, Satan! The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God. Serve only him!’”
11 So the devil left him. Then some angels came to Jesus and helped him. - Matthew 4 vs 3 - 11
The text in red are examples of words from the mouth of the devil. Do they equally amount to the word of God since they are recorded in your bible which you claim is the word of God? undecided

Yes, like I said in this case recorded to teach a lesson or explain an event, then what does it tell me, I don't want to go into much detail but it tells me about the evil scheme of the devil, even though he does quote scripture (although out of context) to entice you through temptations in areas involving lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and pride of life. We should resist the devil and he will always flee from us.
If he can tempt Jesus, then he will tempt us and Jesus gave us the answer how we can resist the devil when he comes with his lies and that is through the word of God in scriptures.

So according to your conclusion, the words of the devil in red below are the Word of God, Truth? undecided
