To Love with a Purpose

What does your relationship mean to you? Are you with your partner out of love or out of habit? Are you staying in your current relationship out of genuine love or have you just settled for the relationship you are in? These are important things to ask yourself as you decide whether or not you love your partner with a purpose. Let’s consider the meaning of love and what its purpose may be.

In the beginning when boys and girls first become attracted to each other, it is very often out of curiosity, chemistry and physical attraction. As time goes on, it seems that the purpose of having a boyfriend or girlfriend changes as we yearn for deeper forms of attraction. As a person matures there is often an increase need intellectual attraction. One of the purposes of love is to be nurtured by someone’s thoughts in addition to being attracted to them physically. Especially as a person gets older and starts to lose their youthful beauty, a higher emphasis is placed on personality and intellectual stimulation in their loving relationship. To love the mind is equally as important as to love the body.

Sometimes being in a loving relationship serves the function of providing company and companionship to each other. As a person gets older they often don’t want to be alone and therefore to be in a relationship is a way to avoid being lonely. A person should consider though whether or not they want another human being in their life for companionship or if a dog or cat will serve the same purpose. To want companionship is ok but it is important to want the whole package, which a loving relationship provides. The more two people mean to each other in a relationship the better the love is. To love deeply is to live deeply which is a blessing is meant to be fully enjoyed.

Some couples are in a loving relationship for the purpose of sharing their financial obligations. It is often an economical decision to live with someone or maybe even marry them. This sort of thing is fine providing that the love is the dominant binding force and not the economic bonuses. To be in a strictly financially beneficial relationship and not be in love is a bad thing, which will eventually cause unhappiness.

Creating a family together is yet another purpose of love. It is nice to be able to have a daughter or a son together and have the joy to raise them as a couple. To create life is a miracle and gives ultimate meaning to a loving relationship. It can be such a joy to create a child or two with the person who you love deeply with all your heart. Even if a couple cannot have children, adoption can be equally meaningful. Yet some couples find deep love just amongst themselves.

Finally, love means so many different things to so many people. The key is to make sure that your definition of love is one of great meaning to you. It is important to love with a purpose and embrace all that this powerful emotion has to give a happy couple. To love and be loved is so basic, yet it is such a strong need in this world. Don’t love by chance; love with purpose and experience one of the greatest joys in life.
