BENEFITS OF LOVE
The benefits of love cannot be over emphasied but am going to be taking a few a case study.
LOVE BRINGS LOVE
Yes, Love brings love, been in love and been loved, your state of mind is been projected in another realm where nothing seem to be of border to you. Besides the physical health benefits, being in love works wonders for your mental health as well. Love, marriage and overall wellbeing reduce stress, which also strengthens your immune system. ... Low cortisol levels sustained in a long-term stable relationship contributes to many health benefits.
Ephesians 5:2
and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
2 LOVE BRINGS HAPPINESS
In psychology, happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being which can be defined by, among others, positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy and love is one of the major factor that triggers Love. Love therefore is a reciprocal of Happiness and vise versa.
Acts 2:46, “And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart"
With gladness and singleness of heart definitely in quote is a product of Love in line with Happiness. Happiness comes from being on one accord with one another. Happiness comes from us giving to others.
3 LOVE NEVER FORGETS LOVE ONES
If you appreciate what your loved one has done for you, say it. If you adore your child to bits, say it. Hearts can be broken by unspoken words and loving deeds left unexpressed. All of us want to show our love and affection to our loved ones. It is because we care, adore them, value them, and respect them and much more.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
4 LOVE IS FORGIVEN
Forgiveness Can Heal Both Sides.The famous saying goes “To err is human, to forgive is divine”. Forgiven in a relationship is a driving force which cannot be overlooked. Been in love and been loved, you enjoy the benefits of it.
Ephesians 4:31-32 Get rid of all bitterness, passion, and anger. No more shouting or insults, no more hateful feelings of any sort. Instead, be kind and tender-hearted to one another, and forgive one another, as God has forgiven you through Christ.
5 LOVE IS PRICELESS
Genuine love is priceless. True love is not costly, and you don' t have to buy or pay for it, either. Just love more and take good care and talk to your partner. True Happiness, priceless unexpected beautiful events that you'll never forget. Happiness is priceless, make sure you don't take yours for granted.
Isaiah 43:4 Since you are precious and honoured In my sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life.
