Romantic love is good; God created it. A careful reading of the Song of Solomon in our Bibles will show us that much. It is fun and luring, again, the way God made it. But it, just like anything else in our lives, should never take precedence over our relationships with God. Love between two people on the earth should never come to place where it is seen as more important than the practice of one’s relationship with God. Though, I’m sure, like with anything, that can be a great temptation, to hold one’s partner as of higher importance than God himself. And this very point ties into the reason that one should not marry one who is outside of relationship with God. To do that that obviously means a person is valuing another person more than God. So, what is your love built upon if you are dating or courting someone currently? Is it built upon things like passion, desire, or infatuation? Or is it built upon a steady and controlled endurance?
