Is that what love is?

I'm a huge an of Charmed and even though its off the air I still get to watch it, because my sister has the episodes on DVD. So I think I have dissected Pheobe and Cole "love" down to infatuation, lust and adventure. I don't think they ever really loved each other. We'll maybe she loved him, and he admired her but I'm not completely convinced it was true love. I don't think they spent enough time together to love one another. There was never a definitive moment where you could say " that's why he/she loves him/her". It was like their love came out of nowhere. They were infatuated with each other for no apparent reason other than lust, and it was adventurous. Cole got a high because he was dating a Charmed One. Someone he was supposed to kill. And he researched her. He didn't even know Pheobe. Weird. But apparently it was true love after they slept together. I don't know...maybe I'm just over analyzing it. I feel like love should be more than that. It should be more than making out and having sex. I feel like God wants us to enjoy our partners and not just physically speaking. I want to be in a relationship where we can both get energized by seeing God's will be done. I want someone who will love me as a sister and Jesus enough to hold himself back from commenting on my body. I really feel like me and my boyfriend should be really good friends. And people say they want to be friends all the time, but I mean REAL friends. Like he's smelled your farts and you guys can have inside jokes and your'e cool with his friends. It not like you have be friends with his friends but you share mutual values.



Today the message at Church was about sex and might I say it was really uplifting. The pastor said in today's society we try to re-create God in our romantic relationships. We look for the other person to complete us. I feel like that is so true. Because today's society looks for the other person to be their everything. But the problem is that role is only fit for God, so you're going to be hurt when you ask so much of someone that doesn't even have control over their own life! So that's my Valentine's Day post.
