Love

Last night I went to the Bible study that David has started up on Wednesday nights. Last night, we watched a Nooma video with Rob Bell. He talked about the three different kinds of love in the Old Testament. There's the friendship love, the deep affection and desire love, and then there's erotic love. As he went through the three loves, he explained how in a marriage relationship, all three loves have to work together in order for the marriage to thrive. If you think in terms of each of the loves being a flame, then they need to burn together and not as three separate loves.

I just thought that that was an appropriate lesson to learn about three days before I'll be flying up to CT for David and I's wedding. I mean, we started off as friends, and as our love for each other grew as friends, it developed into a deeper affection and so on. And that's the way it should be. As our loves for each other grow, so will our marriage.

16 days=)

In His Mercy.
