Shalonda & Ardarion

Married April 24th, 2010 - There take on love!




Christian love is giving to others those things that you would want them to give you if you were in their situation — and it’s doing so even if they can’t pay you back. In fact, it’s doing so especially if they can’t pay you back! Christian love is respect for others. It’s mercy. It’s charity. When the King James translators came upon the Greek word agape (God’s Love), in addition to using the English word “love” to transliterate it, they often chose the English word “charity.” This was meant to reinforce the idea that agape is a selfless, giving love. God’s Love is unselfish and unconditional. Now we know what is meant by Christian love. Now we know what to strive for… My fiance and I have sought to from the beginning make God the foundation of our relationship and we know without a doubt that HE is the fundamental difference and glue that has held our relationship together. We have been together for 4 years now and infidelity has not existed and arguments have been at a bare minimum and I wouldn’t trade him or the love we have been able to share for anything. I was pursued and courted something that I think we have gotten away from. At any rate, personally I believe it’s better to do it God’s way abstaining from sexual activity and building a relationship based on friendship first but in all cases the relationship should be based on love, compassion, trust, honesty, transparency, and the golden rule: loving others and treating them as God loves and treats you.
