Love is patient. Love is kind. The definition of love given in Corinthians is the definition I agree with 100%. And the above two sentences are the basic foundation of LOVE.
Love is patient first because in order to love, you're going to have to be patient as you learn & get to know the other individual. Love is kind because there's going to be some times that you don't understand what was said or done, but you'll later find out that the intent was for your good and not your harm. If you constantly lose your ability to be kind, you'll miss the thought/intentions behind the other person's acts of kindness.
Men and women often want to be the important person in the relationship. They wanted to be about ME, ME, ME. I WANT, I WANT, I WANT. I need, I need, I need. When it's not they can become belligerent and refuse to show love, care, and concern for the other individual. This is not kindness. However, it it is a common practice in many relationships of today.
It's nice to be important, but it's MORE IMPORTANT TO BE NICE! Contrary to popular belief, being nice & kind is not weak. It's only perceived as weak by the spiritually unlearned. When you're nice to people that aren't nice to you for no reason, they heap coals of fire over their own head. You just continue to be nice, patient, & kind.
I've loved long enough to know the phrase, "kill them with kindness" is TRUE indeed. I encourage you, man or woman, to BE PATIENT, BE KIND, & to BE NICE!
