True love always protects the wisdom of the Bible teaches us. If you do not feel protected, it is not true love regardless of what someone tells you.    Fake love hurts.      Good, healthy parents always protect their children, marriages, and partnership built on safeguarding all in their care, thrive. We were designed to be a preserving quality in the world. "You are the salt of the earth," Jesus declares. When we are in line with God's ways, we will always preserve and protect.
