You couldn’t have said it better.

You have only one life to live, why spend it with someone that makes it difficult.

You simply don't.
What is there to love? undecided
I can never be an emotional MESSIAH to save a loveless soul.
I love myself too much fot that kind or level of degenerate 'struggle love'.

No apologies! kiss

My grand mother did not do such
My mother did not do such
Not in my genes. . . sorry! kiss

That can only the cross of 'religious people' who are brain-washed to think they are doing the work of their 'lord' grin

Can you bond with an inaminate object? And yes you can bond and build intimacy with an unnecessarily rude customer care rep, hence @op can love his partner who does not have sensesense altruisticly. Nobody's totally useless and nobody's above polishing or made to have sense. Thing is folks need perfection nowadays and tend to run rather than invest in relationship to make it work. Wetin carry op go be with the person in the first place? His partner is illiterate or ignorant or beyond being educated or brushed up?
Good for you if you want to be polishing some people know they need it but choose not to so it’s none of my business sha me no like difficulty

Ezugbo phantom love. Romantic love is not a fleeting shadow hence GOD will not command men to love their wives whether she lacks common sense or not. Nigerian men una just be different breed.
God did not do such a thing. Rather, Paul suggested that to you for reasons best known to him. But guess what, If you claim to be a follower of Jesus Christ, you cannot love your wife and children more than you love strangers. Such an act amounts to sin against God who instead said you are to abandon your father, mother, husband, wife, children, etc. if you want to become worthy of Him - Matthew 10 vs 34 -39. undecided

How can one look past the partners' flaws and love them regardless?

Flaws in this context is when a partner lacks common sense.

When you struggle to love someone then you must be a Slave!

God had to let Devil go bec5 he was struggling to love him in his fallen and Difficult nature

Don't be a slave in the name of Delusion.

Well, you that's preaching love don't know what love is because if you knew, you would have understood what I mean by romantic love as opposed to agape love.
That's the reason why many of you destroy yourselves for abusive marriages because you don't know the real love descriptions.
Love isn't blind and love has common sense and should pass the test of objective analysis.

The Command: Ephesians 5:25-29: Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy...

That wasn't a command given to you by God nor by Jesus Christ. That was instead a suggestion supposedly made by Paul. As I made clear, any other kind of love aside from the one prescribed in detail— terms and conditions— of the Gospel teachings(and commandments) of Jesus Christ is a sin against God. Basically, if you show your wife more love than you show your next-door neighbor or the stranger you have never met, that love has absolutely nothing to do with God and may constitute sin against God who instead prescribed that you love others exactly as you would like for them to love you and that you love your enemies more. undecided

What am I saying? Before you dive into taking advice from Paul, make sure you understand the agreement as laid down by Jesus Christ to you. Then weigh your understanding of what Paul said against that to find out whether that advice will work for or against you at the end of the day. undecided

A suggestion by Paul? Now let me ask you this question, is the elect the bride of CHRIST if so? Does CHRIST Love HIS Bride? Herein lies the answer for CHRIST is our example whether suggestion of Paul or the actual words of The CHRIST. Now if You are an embodiment of Love, you already have the SPIRIT of CHRIST, you love thus you can love your neighbour, pray for your enemies etc eschewing the dictates of the flesh, now if you can do all these things, the same SPIRIT of CHRIST in You enables You to priotise CHRIST as Your first Love. We Love HIM because HE first Loved Us... Your gaze is constantly drawn to your Lover, "Looking unto JESUS the author and finisher of our Faith"... The SPIRIT is always drawing into that intimacy, then how can you place others Mother, Father, Child as your chief joy? You just Love because you embody love not from the tainted fallen perspective.

See how religion don mess people up so tay dem go confuse one thing with so many others all day long.

● The Elect refers to the special group of people God selected and sent out into the world over 1900 years ago from right there in His Jerusalem to gather His sheep from across every tribe, every language, and every nation back to Him by the time of the resurrection of Israel - Isaiah 66 vs 18 - 21. They are considered the first fruit of the Lamb. undecided
● The sheep — not the goats of Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46— aka Followers of Jesus Christ(this group includes the elect) are those who abide by the Law as put down by Jesus Christ. They are the ones loved by Jesus Christ - John 15 vs 9 - 11-and He loves them all equally. This is the group referred to as the bride of Jesus Christ. undecided

Christ's love for His bride does not explain Paul's suggestion because Christ's Love is as specified in the context of the document that is the Gospel which is God's Law. Christ's love entails blessings and promises including the reward of Heaven to those who love Him. Surely, you understand that a man cannot give the same blessings and promises including the reward of Heaven to another human being. undecided

1. Those are tales by moonlight stories fed to you by your pastors and mogs abeg! undecided

The reality is instead that you have to work every moment to discipline yourself into continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ. That is how you eventually become a Law-abiding citizen of the Kingdom of God — Holiness. And those who are holy, love each and every human the same regardless of their blood type or group. undecided

I am not by any means religious. You my dear are the one whose had it messed up. Scripture is plain and simple. The Simplicity of GOD WORD even states "GOD is Love". It further reiterate that CHRIST died for the world. Is the world the Church, Bride or elect? Don't be smart by half. I am done here with this back and forth with you.

Be it unto you as you believe. Love is Love Love is unconditional. Let me ask you this, does your biological father or Mother love you unconditionally?

You are not religious yet everything you continue to spew comes straight from the script that is a religious dogma that runs counter to Scripture? Come on now! undecided

2. Simplicity of God's Word? God's Word is a Law that comes complete with any approximately 100 teachings and commandments — the terms and conditions of the contractual relationship that God allows men to enter into with Him. That is what defines the Love of God for man. And according to God, it is those who obey His teachings and commandments that are loved by Him. That contract is what Jesus Christ means and is about. He told you this when He even said His blood was shed for that very contract/agreement to be made available to those who will sign up. undecided

But they can't do that, particularly in Nigeria. Most mothers and fathers, obsessed with raising children that are of their own blood, can't be said to love their children unconditionally. undecided

2. Stop deceiving yourself with the shulamite woman trash. No be the same Solomon dem write say him love 700 wives and 300 concubines put? Was the love of the Shulammite women not enough that he had to add so many more to get his heart's fill... against God's command that a King not have too many wives and concubines? Come on! undecided
