The month of February is known as the typical love month. Love is a powerful word. It’s a big commitment to the person receiving it. What kind of love are you interested in?

As an unknown author once said, “You don’t love a woman because she is beautiful; she is beautiful because you love her.” Love is unfailing and unending. The big occasion, Valentine’s Day, happens around this time of month. Valentine’s is a day where you can express your emotion to a person you love and care for. You get an opportunity to show them the love in your heart, so they will experience or receive the heart-warming care for them. On this day, people exchange things such as flowers and gifts as small tokens of emotion toward their love. One legend states that Valentine was a priest who served in the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men (his crop of potential soldiers). Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. That is how St. Valentine created the Day of Valentine’s.

Love can be found in many ways, either right or wrong. I always ask my mom, “How will I know when I’m in love?” My mom’s answer seemed as if there was no point to asking the question. She said, “When you’re in love, you’ll know.” I could tell by the look in her eyes that there is such a thing in this world. It is a precious feeling you have inside. Goosebumps and butterflies begin to fill the inside of your stomach, your lips tend to go numb and this overwhelming feeling overtakes your heart that is indescribable and breath-taking, you hear music being played in your ear and your knees begin to become weak, and you find yourself falling in love. It’s the most beautiful thing you can imagine. Love is a gift, and once you receive love, it will never leave you.

A lot of times in movies they show inappropriate scenes of the wrong way to find love. When a guy takes advantage of the love you have, it is definitely considered the wrong way. A guy might say, “If you love me”--- you complete the sentence.

In a marriage, the key point to happiness is love. Love can touch you one time and last for a lifetime. Marriages start out with love and end with it too. Love is like a seed being planted in a garden. It is the root to any relationship. In the end, the love just keeps growing and never stops; eventually it becomes a flower and blossoms.

Some people believe in love at first sight. Do you? I know that there is something magical that happens, embedded in your bodies. I believe that you can have very strong feelings for someone when you meet eyes. I know that when eyes are caught, a special connection runs through your body to the tip of your fingers and you can feel something there. I know it might sound a little different, but it’s possible. Anything’s possible when you believe in yourself. When you feel you’re in love, you’ll know it and you’ll be proud to show it.

Purity in love should always remain the same and be a very important part in every relationship. In every relationship, you give a little piece of your heart away each time. Don’t give too much away, because you want to give your full heart to your spouse one day and remain pure for them. Give your heart to your spouse and only your spouse. You save the best for last. Your spouse will love you for who you are, so don’t try and change the silhouette seen. There is a big difference between looking at a person and looking into a person. The love you should be looking for is when a person truly loves you for who you are and doesn’t care what you look like. Be who you are don’t be afraid of a challenge. You don’t need to go searching for love because love will find you. Love will find a way.

I want to leave you off with a story that a man once told me, describing love. A man said to another man, “Describe your wife.” The man then begins to describe his wife in great detail. The man looks at him confused. He then continues and says, “If you truly love your wife, you wouldn’t be able to describe her.”

You don’t love someone for the indescribable feeling; you have an indescribable feeling because you love them.
