God's Love

A man and his girlfriend got married. They loved each other deeply. Some months later the wife said: "I just read in a magazine about how to strengthen our marriage. Let us list the things that we find a bit annoying about each other. Then we can talk about how we can fix them together."

The husband agreed.
They thought about these points for the rest of the day.

Next morning the wife offered to start. Her list was three pages long!
As she read, she noticed that her husband's eyes began to fill with tears.
"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing," the husband replied, "keep reading."

The wife read all three pages. She placed her list on the table. "Now you read yours and then we'll talk," she said cheerfully.

The husband quietly said: "I don't have anything on my list. I think you are perfect the way you are. I don't want you to change anything for me."

The wife, touched by his honesty, the depth of his love and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept!

The husband-wife bond is potentially the most long-lasting one. Parents will pass away, children will leave the nest. Who remains together, if life permits?

THE COUPLE!

An uncritical and affectionate mutual love can make this relationship a truly Divine gift. If there is anything in life that appeals to the human soul, it is love and beauty. The lover alone has the power to create and that which is created is for the purpose of giving and receiving love.

In a deeper sense, God is Love. When we practice this divine principle in our closest relationships, we achieve God's Love!

Friendship is not measured when both take care of each other, it is measured when one ignores and the other still continues.
