10 Mistakes People Make with Love (plus 1 bonus):

1. Have the definitions mixed up (phileo: brotherly; storge: family; agape: unconditional; eros: physical / sexual).
2. Confuse it with lust.
3. Think it’s a feeling (so when the feeling is gone, love must be gone?).
4. Think it’s sex.
5. Throw it away at a whim / discard it (divorce).
6. Forget it’s sacrificial, selfless (choosing for the highest good of the object of its affection). (John 15:13)
7. Withhold it as a means of injuring another.
8. Are afraid of losing it so they “control.”
9. Neglect it so it dies (love must be nurtured, treasured, cherished).
10. Believe that no one could ever love them (due to hurt? / a form of pride).

BONUS Forget there is healing for the brokenhearted.
