Is There More Pain in Life With or Without Love: A Male and Female Perspective

He Said,
Personally I believe that love will only cause happiness. Everyone enjoys the feeling of having someone love them. When you are in love with someone and that person loves you, you enjoy their company no matter what time of the day it is. The room can be silent and you feel comfortable because that person is like the piece of your life you grew up missing. But we must understand that we are humans, and we’re going to get on each others nerves, even though we may be in love. Pain caused by someone dear to your heart is indescribable. But to live a life without ever falling in love is far more painful. God Himself said it’s not good for man to be alone. If God and all his wisdom acknowledge the importance of love between two people it must be important. And if you want to find love on a whole new level, you must seek the Creator of love.

She Said,
I know that in many cases love is viewed as something that has the potential to hurt and cause pain but “love” does neither. Love is forever. “God is love.” God would never hurt anyone or anything because he created and cherishes everything. God is our father; he wants to fill us with love more than any other being. So, if God doesn’t cause hurt, love shouldn’t either. What causes people this hurt that we associate with love is misunderstanding and miscommunication. We often think someone loves us, and think we’re in love with someone, and so when that person hurts us, we think that our love caused us pain. In reality, “love” doesn’t cheat, “lust” cheats. “Love” doesn’t abuse, “anger” and “bad self-esteem” abuse. “Love” will not break a promise, but “ill-intent” (meaning you never planned on keeping the promise) will. Life is the most wonderful thing in the world when love is involved, especially the love of God. In the same way, life can be the worst thing in the world when you thought you had love, and lost, finding that you never had love at all.

This is my favorite article that you two have written. I certainly agree that God is love, and I fullheartedly agree with what TaNisha said, in terms of what love does and does not do.I believe that's something that everyone should know and understand. I loved this one!
