!0 Reasons Why you Love your Partner? That was the question that was asked to me by the Pastor who is doing our pre-wedding counciling. It seemed to be a very thought provoking question . Many would answer general generic things. Does anyone care to share their top 10 reasons for loving their mate?

I choose to love my wife. ReadThe Love Dare and FIREPROOF; Love needs to be unconditional. I was attracted to her because she is a nice Christian lady. We talked on the phone for hours; visited each other a fewtimes too before we were married.Now we pray for each other and with each other.By the way she was one of my E/H matches. We read theBible together too. There are three kinds of love; a successful marriage needs all three. What translates as love in English could be one of three words in Greek. (Agape, Phileo, or Eros) Every time I pray before a meal or for my wife before she leaves for work I thank GOD for her~!

Dear GILKEY,


Thank you for responding to this thread and for sharing your thoughts on love and the wonderful relationship you share with your wife. Your shared faith is clearly the foundation of your life together, and it is wonderful to know that you two were matched on eHarmony!


Now that this topic has been brought once again to eveyone's attention, I encourage members to share their answers. In accordance with your thoughts that love should be unconditional, perhaps the question can be tweaked a little and members can share the "10 things that make their partner so easy to love"?


All the best to you and your wife,


-Renee

Check out Day # 10 in The Love Dare. "If in the course of years, your wife or husband stopped being every one of the 10 things would you still love them~? Based on these the only logical answer would be no."
"The only way love can last a lifetime is if it's unconditional. The truth is this: Love is not determined by the one being loved but rather by the one choosing to love."
Quote from The Love Dare by Stephen Kendrick and Alex Kendrick (page 46)

Mustardseed,

I envy you so much. My life is played out like in the movie Fireproof but unfortunately I cannot get the same ending like in the movie

The 10 things I love about her...
1) She goes to church ...but I wonder where her heart and mind is
2) She love me..action does not match word
3) We have fun together...God I hope she does otherwise I'll make her an oscar.
4) We have similar values...I wonder if it is still the same after 12 years marriage + 5 dating
5) We want similar things from life...??????????????????
6) She is beautiful and attractive...I desire her but also by others as well
7) She's a women of integrity...I be nice
8) She's intelligent...maybe a little too smart for a fool like me
9) We communicate well...that what I thought till yesterday.
10) Se just "gets" me...so broken hearted and confused

I still love my wife but she say she loves me but not "in love" with me. Someone please explain this to me!

Many time have I put all the slips ans bumps behind us but they seem to come back worse.

I want to move on but not ready. Want to try EH but no courage.

Yes, my life is life mimicing the recession. However, I have good paying job and I am sure my wife enjoys that.

Thanks for letting me vent.

ps. Help me find real love

Hi graceventually,

I just love how a member, from time to time, will feel inspired to join this thread and add their list!

What wonderful qualities your husband-to-be posseses! And his being a "Renaissance man" is sure to keep things lively and fun!

If you have already shared the date on our site, forgive me for not knowing, but if you care to share when the happy event is to take place, we can count down the days with you too!

Thank you for all your wonderful contributions to our site, and I wish you both all the best.

-Renee
