INSIGHTS
ON
MARRIAGE

  

 

Dr. Gary Chapman

The Meaning of "Falling in Love".

What does it mean to "fall in love?" Well, it all starts with what I call the "tingles". Inside each of us there is a "love alert system". It works something like a smoke detector. When you are around certain people, there is something about the way they look, the way they talk, the way they emote that gives you a little tingle. It is this tingle that motivates you to ask someone out for a hamburger.

Now sometimes, you loose the tingles on the first date. You find out they dip snuff and you loose the tingles. You don't want any more hamburgers with them. But with others you can hardly wait to have another hamburger. Two or three dates and it gets tinglier and tinglier.  Before long, you're obsessed with them. In your mind they are the most wonderful person you have ever met. Now, you mother can see their flaws, but you can't. In your mind they are perfect.

You are emotionally obsessed. You think about them night and day. If you are in college, your grades go down. Now how do I know that this obsession is not the basis of a happy marriage.  Because its average life span is only two years. Wow! Better check out some other factors before you get married.
