Is it true that women can only love one person at a time but men can love more then one at a time?
How true is this concept if God is fair and just who created everything perfect and should men and women are equal in love? The bible said ‘husband, love your wife’, it is singular, not wives and note that vice versa is not stated but only to ask women submit to their husband. In our modern but distorted world today, men tend to love more than one. One might think that the weaker gender, the women, generally still finds it difficult to apart from loving more than one. Until men is married and has a wife, and then to love their wife, is it fair for them, if they are in a relationship before marriage to love more than one at a time? Isn’t it easy for them to argue that it was stated to love your wife, not your girlfriend or even your fiancé?
I believe all these are just excuses. Ironic it is that women are not commanded to love their husband but only to submit. If women can love a partner deeply in a relationship regardless whether that person is her husband or not how much more should men to love their partner more as it was commanded? Then, since women are not asked to love their husband but just to submit, then can they love other men other then their husband as well?
I believe true love is equal, where one love another and receives the same amount of love in return. Readers, note that the type of love I am referring throughout this entry is love between men and women if you still have not realized it. Anyway, in the beginning of relationships where there are only either one situations. The first situation is where guy fell in love with the girl which I will refer it as the guy choose the girl then the other way round, where the girl choose the guy.
More often than not, the person who chooses who to love and later, gets the person he/she chooses will love more than the other person whom is chosen to be love. However, I’m not ruling out that the person chosen may at times love more than the other. This is just from general observation. Love is immeasurable, yes I agree but I believe can be compared by evidences of showing love, sacrifices, time spending and appreciation. The person who is chosen, sometimes will find it hard to love him/her back and will later find themselves trying to learn how to love their partner. It is not impossible but rare to find both parties to love each other as much. It’s usually one sided weighted. If it is this case, which will you choose?
From experiences, to be the one who love more than love receives is always the person who bares more burden (hurt and disappointment). In the other hand, to be the one who love less than the other is usually feel more carefree but will at times will feel that there is less satisfaction in that relationship as he/she might think that they had not really deeply loved someone. And later after that will find excuses to leave their partner. Contrastingly, the person who loves more in the relationship will in the end find more satisfied because they can tell themselves that they had really loved before.
For me, when I’m at one side higher of the seesaw I had always wished I’ll be on the other lower side and later, when I’m at the bottom, I’ll wish I’ll be on top. If you can only choose to be on one side, which will you choose? To be the one who give out love more and receives less or to love less and receive more? Bottom line: to love or be loved? A little extra advice (given by Lydia) for people who choose to love is that at times you will find yourself very lonely. I’m so agree with this because it is so very true and i believe i’m suffering from it…
