Love, because true love includes loyalty, whereas loyalty does not necissarilly contain love

[KFBobInsanesMom]

Love. I agree that loyality is a byproduct of love and is essential, but there will be times when , for one reason or a host of reasons, one's loyality can fail. Love, however, will not fail ( if it is truly love ). Love will also forgive when loyalty fails.

What about when romantic love fades but loyalty continues to hold on? It can probably be said that love and loyalty are at thier best when accompanied by the other, but they can both also exist independantly as well.

Interesting to think about though.

I know this conversation kinda died off, but I was reading this and thinking... there's more to love than "romantic love." Maybe that's ust a kickback from our premarital counselling. I tend to believe love is a choice, and like people were saying before, once you've got that love the loyalty follows...

i agree love is a choice,, like my dad said to me one time... you chose to love someone cause you appreciate them. i guess that applies to everything and not just marrige!

Ha! Im going to premarital counselling tomorow! Its compulsory for us in our diocese, or maybe in Roman Catholic in general? Anyway it may help, but I think the most we probably will take from it is a few laughs!

Oh yeah, I agree with everyone that Love is the most important and Loyalty is a byproduct. (Might learn more about that tomorow! )

From what I've heard most pastors won't perform a ceremony without giving premarital counseling first. My husband and I are Southern Baptist and we went. Why do you think you won't get anything out of it? From my own experience it was a complete and total blessing to my marriage, my husband and I got so much out of it. Don't go into it with the attitude of "we won't learn anything we don't know" go into it with excitement of learning something you might not know. Have an open mind at least.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

In the end, love is a choice.

And since this thread has been revived, I must explain to newer people that my earlier post was a joke (although everyone here knew I was kidding) - I like to hold up a mirror to our postmodern society and answer the way I think other people are thinking at times. In an obvious context of humor.
