QOTW: Is Love a Verb?
| Tue, 10-14-2008 - 12:01pm |
Until recently, I believed that love was a feeling only. I watched a movie last night called The Last Kiss. One of the idea of the movie was that you can "say" how you feel about someone and you can feel it inside. But it does not mean anything of you don't show it, and practice being in love, by doing what it takes.
Do you think love is a verb?
In what ways do you "do" love.. what kinds of things do you "do" in love.
What kind of things does your partner do, or you desire from them, that is an act of love?

What a great thread!
Do you think love is a verb?
Love is absolutely a verb. We love by action.
In what ways do you "do" love.. what kinds of things do you "do" in love.
Well let's start with my girls. They may not have every toy they ever wanted but they get more kisses, cuddles, praise, and hugs than anyone else I know. They get homemade brownies on a weeknight and pancakes on Sunday before church. They get home cooked meals made by their mom no matter how tired I am. They get hot chocolate waiting when they come in from the cold and towels in the dryer when they take their baths. They get stories at bedtime. They get time. I am a single mom and there are for of them and I have to work so they have things like shelter and food but they know no matter what they can have any time they want. They know I am open to anything they need or want to talk about. They know that no matter what they do Mom's love will still be there. There is nothing in this world they could do to make me stop loving them.
Now Ducks fan and I haven't said ILY yet but we do loving things for each other. We call each other every night, sometimes me, sometimes him. He texts me every morning and says, "Good morning Sunshine." I made him homemade chicken soup last night because he is sick. He tells me how nice I look every day. (Today he said I looked adorable and like an angel.) I give him massages. When I sleep over and we are cuddling I like to run my fingers over his chest and he rubs my back. He sleeps with his arms around me all night which is his favorite way to sleep and mine too. When he kisses me he holds me really close. I wrote and sent him a letter which was a list of all the great things I love about him. He should get that today or tomorrow. When we go somewhere like on a date he places his hand on the small of my back. That's like my favorite one for some reason.
