One attribute the bible says about love is that "It never fails". And that's the one factor that makes love stand out among other things of awe. It's very difficult to come across couples that are joined by true love( as 1 Corinthians 13 describes) nowadays, and that's the one reason why people who find true love are celebrated. Love is long-suffering- this is where most couples fail when it comes to staying faithful. Their whole ideology about love revolves around give and take, and once there's no giving, they don't aspect to give. But in 100, there's always an exception and I'll be sharing a story of a couple (young couples) whose act of love was demonstrated.
Story
The young beautiful lady was a normal girl, sane , responsible and vibrant. But something happened along the line that no one can explain, which turned her into a seasonal lunatic- people believed she became possessed. It started after a critical illness that turned her into something else. The young beautiful girl became old and ugly, her hair was shaved , she acted normal one minute and the next she was talking out of line. People became scared of her because of how she acted and some of her friends stayed away from her because of how she was acting-sometimes, she seems to speak in tongues no one understands.
It was at that time she became a friend in my family and I got to know her. Even though her friends neglected her and some of her family members who saw her as being a lunatic, her young lover never left her, in fact it was the period his love for her increased. He stuck around her more than her family did and ensured he made her believe all the suffering she's going through would pass away. He bought her gifts and got her everything she wanted. Honestly, I admired his love, because it proved he loved her beyond the physical appearance and her sanity. He embraced long-suffering and was patient enough to sit beside her daily trying to make her happy.
The illness lasted for years and the guy was still patient and at some point it made her promiscuous, but this guy still waited. I was told she's better now after so many years and his love for her was a thing of discussion.
