Many of us have been there. It's 3rd grade...at recess... on the playground and while hiding a giggle, you tell your friends that you love so and so. That's not the only scenerio. Moments like these occur daily in middle schools, high schools, college and far into adulthood. The words "I love you" are used so often.
Many times the word love is used very flippantly in all aspects of life. "I LOVE tacos." "I LOVE that movie." "I love Billy, Bobby, Suzy or Sally". When do we really mean it?
How is infatuation different from real or true love when it comes to relationships? How can we help our kids to recognize the differences between the two and save them from potential heartbreak?!
Below are some examples of the differences between the two.
Guiding our young people to recognize the difference between real love and infatuation can help them to make positive decisions regarding relationships and avoid a lot of future heartache - for themselves and others.
