What Are We Looking For In Love?

Psychologists, scientists, and many other worlds over have been on a quest, a very long and seemingly endless quest; the object of the search is to determine ‘what love should consist of,

The subject of this quest which scientists have organized into a study group is odd assortments of some sort from couples who have been married for years, newly married couples, same-sex couples, couples which consists of partners living with a disability,

Other participants of this study also include partners who have lived with one or two of their spouses having a debilitating disease, couples who have had to wait for an imprisoned spouse; the list indeed is endless.

Behavioral scientists, psychologists, and many more others have sought to find out if love consists of essential virtues like understanding, hope, patience, trust.

They also sought to find out if love should include every form of security such as financial security, physical security and many more.

In the result of their experiments/study, they sought to find out if love was gender dependent or exclusive to relatives: that is individuals connected by blood as against individuals connected/related by a bond as it is the case insects, cults and unions.

While many have argued that love didn’t cost a thing in the words of a very famous pop song many years ago, others have stuck with , every true love is a love that gives, every perfect love is a love that seeks to share even using the bible as a backup ‘when God loved: he gave his only gift.

Love must undoubtedly be a summation of everything, it must be a summation of pleasure and pain, plenty and poverty, it must contain moments when we act without thinking and moments we think before we act and in the end, when asked I believe all should be able to say: I did it because of love.
