INSIGHTS
ON
MARRIAGE

  

 

Dr. Gary Chapman

The Emotional Obsession of "Falling in Love".

I've read many definitions trying to get at what most people mean by "falling in love." I read one that said: "Love is a four letter word, composed of two consonants L and V, two vowels: O and E, and two fools you and me." There is some truth to that. Especially the part about two fools. People often do foolish things when they are "in love". Some get sexually involved outside of marriage. Others leave their spouse and run away with the new lover.

The emotional obsession of "falling in love" is next door to insanity. In fact, there is not a lot of difference between being "in love" and being "insane."  

The in-love obsession, has an average life span of two years. The tragedy is that so many people make foolish decisions while obsessed and later regret their action. If you are married and "in love" with someone else, reach out to a pastor, counselor, or friend and say "please help me, I'm insane."
