"For I know the
plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a
future."

YAY! haha. i scored full marks for LDM lesson 1!
Friendship should always be an underlying foundation of any romantic relationship. Romance is fleeting, and comes and goes. Friendship lasts. Both are important in a lasting relationship.
Lesson 2:
First, for a happy and successful marriage, you must have agape love -- the unselfish love which desires the best for the other person. Then you need friendship love -- the love that enables a husband and wife to enjoy being together. Finally, in a happy marriage there is satisfying physical or sexual love.
A pyramid cannot be built on shifting sands. It needs a solid foundation. The solid foundation for our "pyramid" is God's love.
Real love is not blind -- you should use good sense in deciding whether or not you want to be involved with someone. You don't have to "fall in love" with someone. You can choose not to love someone who is not right for you.
Value yourself, for you are very precious. Don't sell out. Any price you're given less than a love willing to commit itself and willing to wait -- that price is too cheap.
The story at the end freaked me out a little.
man.. could it be? but there must be a reason. am i rejecting it? i'll wait. time will tell.
