Assume that you fall in love with your partner because she smells good, looks good and feels good and one day, because of some reason, she inevitably doesn't smell the same, look the same and feel the same. Does that give us permission to break up with them?
Of course, we say we are not superficial and look for other things in a partner. So .... assume you like to be treated nicely by your partner and you fall in love with your partner because you like the way your partner treats you. What if one day, for one reason or another, your partner no longer treats you the same way, so in a way, the reason why you fall in love with her is not longer there. Does that give you permission to break up with your partner?
I guess it is therefore more important to look for characteristics in your partner that will not change because of mood swings or seasonal changes. The character of your partner is likely to remain the same or better if they are believers willing to be molded into the image of Christ and obedient to the commands of Jesus. Not that feeling special is inconsequential but surely, there must be more than looks and the way they make us feel in choosing our partners?
Of course we cannot change the situation if our partner leaves us regardless. But the first and more important question to ask ourselves is this: do we have what it takes for someone to fall in love with us and remain in love with us?
