Relationships Out of Love

Relationships mean nothing if love is not in existence. When friends, family, marriages, or out of marriage relationships join, love has to exist to make the relationship work productively. Not everyone realizes they, love someone until the person associated has disappeared from their life. The ancient phase “You don't know what you got until it is gone,” is forever standing in life. Several types of love exist that makes us analyze love and relationship; however, a degree of love is usually available.

Friendship that last for years has a measure of love, otherwise the relationship would end somewhere down the road. Even if the person moves out of the area and rarely visits, love is there, which is noted when smiles appear on faces when the person arrives in town. Long distant love affairs, or up, close and in your face love affairs vary, but love still exists.

Mothers often bond with their children, thus mothers will go to lengths to protect their child from harm. Mothers will also go to lengths to feed their children, even if it includes going below their moral standards and above the law. Mothers have killed for their children, lied, stole, sold their bodies, et cetera all in the name of love. Unfortunately, some types of love are superficial, but still a form of true love exists under the surface, even if it appears nil.

As human beings, we are created and put here on earth to care for and to love one another. Unfortunately, humanity has degraded love to the point many fail to see that it still exists. Evolution theories or the scientist around the world has many believing that they originated from monkeys, but the truth is we as created in human form, were put here to act out of love.

Fathers go to lengths to protect their children also, however the extent of action depends on the mind of the person. Similar to mother's way of thinking, fathers have murdered, stolen from others, and fought for their children all in the name of love.

Thus, the illustrations present a scenario of how love operates. When two people join in relationships, a different type of love exists. Although, when couples marry they are suppose to leave their mother and father and join their mate, many relationships are run and operated by family members, which over time breaks down the marriage.

When two people join in love and outside forces participate in the marriage arrangement, thus making decisions for the couple, problems occur. One mate may feel frustrated, since nosy friends and family members believe they know better than the couple does, how a relationship is suppose to work. Overtime, one mate may feel that the elements to make the relationship work is non-existing, and may decide that the other mate should continue the relationship with the family members and friend, and feel left out. Therefore, the mate leaves the marriage and another divorce reports on the statistic charts.

Another problem that determines how a relationship stands is the ongoing problem whereas men generalize about women, and women generalize about men. Example, “Women, they are always complaining.” On the other hand, “Men, they all think alike.”

Generalization is a form of stereotyping that has lead to failure in relationships for centuries. Over generalizing creates negative thinking patterns that lead to trouble often. At what time a person starts the negative pattern, the person acts on emotions often and someone is hurt, until the point one is tired and leaves the relationship.

Therefore, love comes in all forms, but to make love work, openness, honesty, trust, positive thinking, faithfulness, loyalty, consideration, hope, and other elements must exist.

When the elements that make up a relationship out of love fail to adhere to the respect that comes in all the ingredients of love, thus failure is a sure result. Relationships mean nothing when love is not accompanying the pair. Regardless of the type of relationship, love must exist to make it work. Untraditional types of love, such as fornication, or promiscuous relationships often construct out of desire, thus love does not exist and the relationship between the self and other parties involved, will not last.
