A survey was taken in which 1,079 young people (ages 18 to 24) reported having experienced an average of seven romantic involvements up to that time. ‘You will know when it’s real love!’ Unfortunately, the facts contradict this notion. Some, however, feel that the human heart has infallible romantic judgment. In the long run, it no more makes her appealing than would a gorgeous nose ring beautify a pig! What a mistake it is, then, to fall ‘in love’ with the way someone looks-and ignore what that person is inside. Naturally, such a ring would be the first piece of jewelry you would notice on a woman.Īppropriately, the proverb compares an outwardly beautiful woman who lacks “sensibleness” to a “nose ring in the snout of a pig.” Beauty simply does not befit a senseless woman it is a useless ornament on her. They were exquisite, often made of solid gold. The Proverbs say: “As a gold nose ring in the snout of a pig, so is a woman that is pretty but that is turning away from sensibleness.” ( Proverbs 11:22) Nose rings were a popular adornment during Bible times. In fact, the most elegant wrappings may cover a useless gift.- Proverbs 31:30. The Bible says: “Charm may be false, and prettiness may be vain.” The glittering wrappings of a gift tell you nothing of what’s inside. You’ve met only the outer shell, not “the secret person of the heart.” ( 1 Peter 3:4) How enduring could such love be?įurthermore, outward appearances can be deceiving. As one young man put it: “It is hard to ‘see’ a person’s personality.” But what is it that one “loves” when a relationship is but a few hours or days old? Is it not the image that person projects? Really, you don’t know much about that person’s thoughts, hopes, fears, plans, habits, skills, or abilities. Granted, physical attractiveness is usually what makes two people notice each other in the first place. Movies, books, and television shows would have you believe that love at first sight lasts forever. The love they thought would last forever died that night. But David, feeling threatened and confused, responded coldly. Then one night Janet received a devastating phone call from a former boyfriend. It seemed like a case of mutual love at first sight!ĭuring the next three weeks, David and Janet were inseparable. Janet was enchanted by his deep brown eyes and his witty conversation. He was immediately attracted to her shapely figure and the way her hair tumbled over her eye when she laughed. But just what is real love?ĭavid met Janet for the first time at a party. And no doubt about it, falling in love can be a uniquely beautiful experience.
Love conquers all and lasts forever . . . Love, they believe, is strictly an affair of the heart, something that cannot be understood, just experienced. LOVE-to starry-eyed romantics it is a mysterious visitation that seizes you, a once-in-a-lifetime feeling of sheer ecstasy.
