No, I don't want to talk about these subjects. I don't want to hear those things. We build walls around our hearts to protect us from anyone on the outside getting in to hurt us. But that same wall which keeps people out, keeps us stuck inside. Loneliness sets in and true intimacy and love become impossible.
Love is more than emotions, and it is much more than a good feeling.
But our society has taken what God has said about love, sex and intimacy and changed it into simply emotions and feelings. God describes love in great detail in the Bible, especially in the Book of First Corinthians, chapter 13. This is how God defines the love He wants us to experience in relationships. It is giving, rather than self-seeking. And there's the problem.
