"Cause its always raining in my head.... forget all the things I should have said." -Staind, Epiphany

Growing up I had a great example so I always believed love isn't just a high, its not a selfish emotion, and despite what they may teach you in movie land romantic love is not something you should seek out at all costs. Sometimes the cost is too high. When asked what the greatest commandments were Jesus said Love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and mind and love your nieghbor as yourself. So where in the world did we get this silly notion that finding a mate of the opposite sex is the highest goal when it comes to love. Too often I've seen family, friends, ministries, and love for God shoved off to the side in the search for that perfect person. It baffles me how people think this is justified. There has to be a reason Jesus didn't say "Look for love in a significant other with all your heart soul and mind." It makes sense that when we learn to love God, and show our love for our neighbors then our hearts are ready for the rich, giddy, emotional romantic love. Just don't forget the rank God, nieghbors, romantic partner.
