MEN FROM MARS/WOMEN FROM VENUS (LOVE)

It's February and one holiday that signals love is Valentine's day, February 14th. Millions of dollars will be spent on cards, teddy bears, chocolate candy, lingerie, and jewelry just to name a few. Nothing is wrong with getting a gift for that spouse or significant other in your life for this holiday, but it should be expressed every day through out the year as well.
Men and women receive and express love differently. The main factors that love must be built upon is trust, respect, loyalty, and understanding in order to sustain it successfully. I've learned over the course of my life, that men are positional and women are relational. I say this because man had position with God before he had relationship with another human being. (Adam) A woman was birthed in relationship. (Eve)
An example would be when men get together, a common question asked is "What do you do for a living?"
This is a way of finding out what position or title the next man holds. An example when women get together, a common question asked is "Are you married?" or "Do you have children?" This is a way of finding out the relationships  the next woman has nurtured in her life.
There are many more examples to back up what I am saying and I'm sure many people will have their own opinions about it, I understand that. This is just a reflection of my perspective. In relationships men and women see things through a different scope of lenses but love is the glue that should keep them together.

The bible says in Colossians 3:14, "And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."

Poetic Thought:

Life is like a game of cards,
Play your ace before you deal your heart,
Basically love is a choice,
We marry each other attributes, but the flaws we divorce,
Cohabitation from the vagina to the penis,
Love speaks, men are from Mars, women from Venus! ~ JD

I am a huge fan of Teddy Pendergrass music. There is one particular song I like a lot that I have downloaded in my playlist on my smart phone, it is  "When somebody loves you back." The chorus if this song goes:

"So good , good lovin' somebody
 And somebody loves you back
 It's so good needin' somebody
 And somebody needs you back."

These lyrics speak to the heart of what love is in a relationship between a man and a woman. Appreciate the similarities and respect the differences. Live, laugh, and love! Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! Until next time, class dismiss!!!
