What is love? How do we achieve it?

Before I begin sharing my thoughts and reflecting on a recent article that I came across, again after years of believing that butterflies in your stomach is what determines how much you love your significant other and this can be only achieved through to a boy's heart by taking time to listen to them and validate how much we meant to each other (high school days..).

Take 15mins to read and reflect on "The 36 Questions: On the Way to Love"

Quite a few people have claimed that asking someone these 36 questions will lead you to love..

That got me thinking.. what is love? how do we achieve it? 

1. Do you think that such questions can or do lead to love? Why or why not?


Yes and No, although these questions do evoke a sense of curiosity and playfulness with getting to know someone. It is the quality time spent together, letting yourself be vulnerable that reveals a lot about yourself, and how you relate to others and the world. It feels good to be heard, appreciated and validated.

However, in saying that I do believe that the right questions can bring you closer and help your compatibility and grow your love deeper with your significant other.

These questions, merely is an opportunity to reveal something more to the eye about yourself to someone close and special in your heart.

I believe that nothing leads you to love except a connection you have through shared experiences and romantic attraction. Which leads to self-sacrificing commitment with one another to walk through this life’s journey as one flesh and body.

These common interests and engaging questionnaires can only get you so far, but long deep committed love is self-sacrificing in spite of differences and even wrongs will truly experience what love is.
