1. What do you think love is?

2. Is it an emotion? or a choice?

3. Does it end?

4. If you are really in love does that mean that you should get married?

5. Does God have one "right" person for everyone? and if so is that the person you are to marry?

 

1&2. Love is indeed a choice. Because God choose to love us, and gave us the choice to love him Tyler I agree with you on that. I don't think that God would give us something as big as love up to our heart to make that decision. If I am not wrong it says in the Bible the the man who follows his heart is foolish.  And in that same way you can shoose to stop loving someone. Love in a relationship should be highlighting of eachother's best qualities. 

3. I think that true love CAN end. I believe that if you truely love someone than you have given them a lot. And no one is perfect, therefore someone could screw that up and throw it away. An extreme amount of trust and communication is lost there, and if you can't truely give them everything again then you don't truely love them again.

4. No, I think that even though you might truely love someone with everything you have that does not mean that you could work well in marriage together.

5. No I don't believe that God as a right person for everyone...or anyone of that matter. I believe if that was so then there would  be no divorces. But I have seen too many good christian families fall apart because of a divorce. And there was no way that that person was right for them. And before they married they prayed and consulted mentors and it still just didn't work. I am also convinced that God's free will really kicks in there and he lets you marry who you wish. Because the simple fact is, that God can use you where ever you are, and in any circumstances.

 

So I will end it with this quote from  Plato, "You often fall in love with what you want a person to be instead of what they are."
