  • Notes: 

    The number one cause of dissatisfaction in romance and marriage comes from a myth we all buy into.


    TRUE LOVE’S MAGIC:

    - Effortless serving & sacrifice
    - Erases painful conflict
    - Excuses apathy and accountability
    - Encompasses total fulfillment
    - Euphoric sex & romance


    The myth of ‘true love’ leads to this lie:

    I’m wrong for them or they’re wrong for me


    What does ‘true love’ look like in the real world?


    Loved by another

    Romantic attention
    Sexual satisfaction


    Just because something is “good” doesn’t mean it erases the damage of misuse


    What does ‘true love’ look like in the real world?


    Philia – deep friendship

    Storge – family love
    Eros – sexual passion
    Agape – selfless love (God’s)


    Without “agape love” at the core we will selfishly misuse all other types of love


    For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

    - John 3:16


    Before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and return to his Father. He had loved his disciples during his ministry on earth, and now he loved them to the very end.

    - John 13:1


    …So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him.

    - John 13:4-5


    “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

    - John 15:12-13


    True LOVE requires the hard work of being selfless


    We can’t give what we don’t have

    Love doesn’t dismiss different it embraces it
    Love is a decision ‘to do’ despite our feelings


    Receiving God’s true love in Jesus allows us to pass-on what we don’t naturally have
