Has your heart ever skipped a beat when a person you were crazy about walked into a room? Have you ever gotten butterflies in your stomach when the person you desired was talking to you?
Well, pay heed to what I’m going to tell you next:
DO NOT marry the person you are passionate about.
If you looked up the word “passion” in the dictionary, you’d probably conclude that passion is all about lust, amorous love or hate, or all that’s in between. But the word passion really came from the story of Jesus – it refers to the pain and suffering He endured because of His great love for His people.
Therefore, if you look at the actual archaic meaning, passion really means to suffer. If we apply this term to real life in a romantic sense: to be passionate or to lust for someone is to undergo pure agony, particularly when the person in question does not return your affections.
As mentioned in an article I read previously: One gets to a point where “the inner turmoil of loving a ‘maniac’ loses its romantic sparkle and you want something (a relationship) that sticks.”
So why not leave the passion behind and be with someone who shares your hobbies and interests; someone who is nice yet self-assured – and most importantly, fully committed to you?
