The current culture is so quick to give away love. Kids begin dating in middle school, teenagers give their virginity away and sometimes become pregnant, some colleges allow you to sleep wherever you want to on weekends; not to mention how much we’ve lost the value of a kiss. Kisses are thrown around as just something you do when you’re going out with somebody, and usually don’t have much meaning. How did we lose the value of love?
I think the answer to that is this: these things have become not a response to true love, but a replacement for love. I think that too often the attitude is, “well, if he/she kisses well, then maybe I’ll consider taking this seriously.” That is absolutely the wrong attitude to have. Before you even consider kissing someone, you should be so in love with them that either (a) it doesn’t matter, or (b) you don’t know the difference, which is by far the best. But see, the point is, we equate love with these things when what love really is, is loving a person so much that you desire to have a relationship with them in that way, but the difference is that you are willing to wait until when the proper time has arrived.
