Author	Thread: If Love is Blind...
Admin	If Love is Blind... Posted : 16 Oct, 2010 04:14 AM Why do we put so much emphasis on physical attraction when seeking relationships? I am not saying that physical attraction isn't important, but people tend to focus more on the external than the internal when looking for a relationship. If we only focus on the physical characteristics of a person, then our relationships will be shaky at best (just my opinion based on what I have researched and given counsel on). For me...I need more than just a pretty face and nice body, that part of a person WILL change as we go through life. The spirit and character of a person however, won't vary that much and when it does change it usually changes for the better....when living for Christ. What are your thoughts? Post Reply
View Profile History	If Love is Blind... Posted : 24 Oct, 2010 08:39 PM CowGirl speaks the truth! The expression "Love is Blind" deals with how we get once we fall in Love. Our brain begins to order the secretion of chemicals -- Oxytocin -- Trytophan -- Serotonin and other chemicals and endorphines that give us an exhilarating experience. Sort of like being "high" on Love. In this "altered state" we become Blind to certain "things" that we would have noticed in our "natural" state. Being In Love is perhaps one of the Greatest Experience ever! We just have to be careful how and when and with WHOM we fall In Love and more importantly...WHY? Some of us do it for the wrong reason and with the wrong person...I can attest to this. So yes... Love does make us Blind. And yes...physical attraction is the first indicator of a possible relationship. But that does not mean great body or beautiful eyes (while these can be a reason). What usually attracts us are mannerisms...(a smile or laugh)...intelligence (or lack thereof)...similar likes and dislikes and so on. Love takes Time and Time seals Love. We find out if the Love is real once the brain stops producing those chemicals and we find ourselves with that person without the Euphoria of those chemicals. If we still want to be with them and if we still enjoy them...then...perhaps it will last. Post Reply

Posted : 27 Oct, 2010 01:39 AM As christians God has breathed his spirit in us thus naturally loving as christ did,erotic love is wide thats why we all ought to be careful by loving investigatively and love with our heads and heart,the word and your mind should be full participant its your life after all,some of us have d�ne this mistake and have learnt from experience.nevertherless you,ll never find that per perfect person but God who sees our hearts and and his thorough search do it for us and that makes it no longer blind ,we,re taking a step of faith like our father in heaven and hoping that none of us will be too blind and regret Godbless Post Reply
View Profile History	If Love is Blind... Posted : 1 May, 2012 08:01 PM a relationship base on look and sexual donot last and is not Christ centered! Even among Christian there is no more self control and they as the world have to open the gift before marriage ! God is not in it! I do not care how Old school it may be If you do not stand for some u fall for anything and in this day many winds of doctrine are inflitrating withing the body of Christ- So let take simply at home- TRue love wait and will bring Glory to God- than the reward is going to be as a dream to it highest bliss ever Why Rush.... God made us He know we can endure anything by his Spirit. We are made to Win over everything... Post Reply

lovelysapphire View Profile History	If Love is Blind... Posted : 10 Jul, 2012 09:09 PM I totally agree. I am a strong believer in a persons personality as being key to a good relationship/person. I find that when I speak to people about this issue, they agree but find it hard for them to base a relationship on character and not jus looks alone. Looks will fade but and when it does it's what's left behind that you have to live with. I always say that the most handsome guy could want to date me, but if their attitude/character sucks then forget it. Post Reply
