Finding your true love - Step 4

Above all else, guard your heart (Proverbs 4:23). In finding true love it is important to balance your heart with your head and to be very careful about giving your affections. Understand that the initial strong attraction you have to a new partner is most often lust, not love. There is nothing wrong with guarding your heart and taking things slow to determine if the two of you are truly compatible.

It is also important to understand the different phases of romantic love. Limerence refers to an involuntary cognitive and emotional state of intense romantic desire for another person. The term was coined by psychologist Dorothy Tennov to describe the ultimate, near-obsessional form of romantic love. Often times when this stage is over, and the intense desire fades, people mistakenly think they have fallen out of love. True love however, will stand the test of time.

The initial animal attraction is an important element in a great relationship, but a truly wonderful and long-lasting relationship balances chemistry and compatibility.
