Love Poem # 21


A Line-storm Song


The line-storm clouds fly tattered and swift, The road is forlorn all day, Where a myriad snowy quartz stones lift, And the hoof-prints vanish away. The roadside flowers, too wet for the bee, Expend their bloom in vain. Come over the hills and far with me, And be my love in the rain. The birds have less to say for themselves In the wood-world’s torn despairThan now these numberless years the elves, Although they are no less there: All song of the woods is crushed like some Wild, easily shattered rose. Come, be my love in the wet woods; come, Where the boughs rain when it blows. There is the gale to urge behind And bruit our singing down, And the shallow waters aflutter with wind From which to gather your gown. What matter if we go clear to the west, And come not through dry-shod? For wilding brooch shall wet your breast The rain-fresh goldenrod. Oh, never this whelming east wind swells But it seems like the sea’s return To the ancient lands where it left the shells Before the age of the fern; And it seems like the time when after doubt Our love came back amain. Oh, come forth into the storm and rout And be my love in the rain.

- Robert Frost -



Love Poem # 22


There Is a Beauty in the Color Brown


There is a beauty in the color brownWhich brings to mind the muted light of caring.Earth tones: roots, ground leafmeal, seeds, and soil;Nuts and bark, broad rivers thick with toil;Tree trunks in a clearing, nothing wearing,Yet holding high their single woven crown.
For me brown brings to mind your caring eyes,Innocent and gentle as a doe's.Vested in your love, my own love grows;Each thought, each hope, each breath within you lies.

- Nicholas Gordon -



Love Poem # 23


The Sacred Fruit


The sacred fruit of your soul was lostTaken unrightfully, stolenIt hurt immensely
You shared the holiness with othersTo rid the raunch treachery
Then met a man who treated you horriblyAbused you, hit you, took control of you
I came and pleased youTreated you well, made you happyShared our thoughtsEntered each others minds
We talked about memoriesThings we hadThings we wantWhat we need
We laughedCriedSmiled
The love we hadThe love we haveI want to be with you till the endI want to give you my fruitAnd share my wine

- Gary R. Hess -



Love Poem # 24


The Look


Strephon kissed me in the spring, Robin in the fall,But Colin only looked at me And never kissed at all.
Strephon's kiss was lost in jest, Robin's lost in play,But the kiss in Colin's eyes Haunts me night and day.


- Sara Teasdale -



Love Poem # 25


Why God Made Friends


God made the world with a heart full of love,Then He looked down from Heaven above,
And saw that we all need a helping hand,Someone to share with, who'll understand.
He made special people to see us throughThe glad times and the sad times, too;
A person on whom we can always depend,Someone we can call a friend.
God made friends so we'll carry a partOf His perfect love in all our hearts.

Love Poem # 27


Love So Sweet


You woke me from my sleepand drenched my heart with a love so deep.When I look into your eyesI see my reflection,my feelings for you I do not despise.You treat me like the princess I should beby pouring your sweet and sensual love all over me.When I see you bitting your lip and anxiously trying to kiss me,I debate in my mind whether or not I should let you taste me.You stand there all quiet with your sexy body,and I think in my mind, "Oh, my gosh, what a hottie."When I hear you speak, all your beautiful voice doesis make me weak.I love you for this andI love you for that,but you love me for everything and that.

- Jessica Kae Teal -



Love Poem # 28


My Vow To You


When you are sad, I will dry your tearsWhen you are scared, I will comfort your fearsWhen you need love, my heart I will shareWhen you are sick, for you I will care
You will feel my love when we are apartKnowing that nothing will change my heartWhen you are worried, I will give you hopeWhen you are confused, I will help you cope

How do you know when you're in love?


How do you know when you're in loveis it the crazy things you dois it the fact that my heart skips a beateverytime that i think of youIs it the fact that I can't sleep at nightwhen your image is in my headOr is it the fact that I can't stop smilingafter every word that you've saidIs it the need to hold you in my armsand keep you there foreverOr is it the fact that I wrote you a poemand sent it to you in a letterIs it this awful feeling deep insidewhenever I have to take you homeOr is it just being here without youthat makes me feel so aloneIs is this hunger deep insidethat longs for your kissI am so happy that I'm in lovefor there are so many things I would miss.

Love poem # 30


Come live with me and be my love


Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, Woods or steepy mountain yields.
And we will sit upon the rocks, Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks, By shallow rivers to whose falls Melodious birds sing madrigals.
And I will make thee beds of roses And a thousand fragrant posies, A cap of flowers, and a kirtle Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;
A gown made of the finest wool Which from our pretty lambs we pull; Fair lined slippers for the cold, With buckles of th purest gold;
A belt of straw and ivy buds, With coral clasps and amber studs: And if these pleasures may thee move, Come live with me and be my love.
The shepherds' swains shall dance and sing For thy delight each May morning: If these delights thy mind may move, Then live with me and be my love.

- Christopher Marlowe -



Love Poem # 31


This Is the Third Time We Have Tried This Love


This is the third time we have tried this love,And this will be the time that it will last.Our back and forth is buried in the past.Now will never end, as time will prove.I've learned through all the fights and separationsThat happiness depends on having you.It took some time to see that this was true,Beyond all other dreams and speculations.But now it is the rock on which I stand.I know it, and the knowledge brings me peace.I need no space for rambling or release.All I am I put into your hands.Love me well, for I'm completely yours.The way is clear; I have no other doors.

Love Poem # 11




A Red Red Rose



O my Luve's like a red, red roseThat's newly sprung in June;O my Luve's like the melodieThat's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,So deep in luve am I;And I will luve thee still, my dear,Till a' the seas gang dry:
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,And the rocks melt wi' the sun;I will luve thee still, my dear,While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only Luve,And fare thee weel awhile!And I will come again, my Luve,Tho' it ware ten thousand mile.


Famous love poems by Robert Burns





Love Poem # 12



somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond



somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyondany experience,your eyes have their silence:in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look will easily unclose methough i have closed myself as fingers,you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose
or if your wish be to close me, i andmy life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,as when the heart of this flower imaginesthe snow carefully everywhere descending;nothing which we are to perceive in this world equalsthe power of your intense fragility:whose texturecompels me with the color of its countries,rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closesand opens;only something in me understandsthe voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands




- E. E. Cummings -





Love Poem # 13



As Long As You're Near



The first time we met, I could see,That you and I, were meant to be.Your eyes were so gentle, your smile so true,When you first held my hand, I just knew.
Now the time has gone by, through laughter and tears,These days I shall cherish, for years upon years.Those memories we have, shall never fade,For those are the steps, that we have made.
That was the past, the future is near,I anxiously wait, for what will appear.New homes, more laughter, and children so dear,Everything will be wonderful, as long as you're near.


- Cristy Smith -





Love poem # 14



On His Late Wife




Methought I saw my late espousèd saintBrought to me like Alcestis from the grave,Whom Jove's great son to her glad husband gave,Rescued from death by force though pale and faint.Mine as whom washed from spot of childbed taint,Purification in the old law did save,And such, as yet once more I trust to haveFull sight of her in heaven without restraint,Came vested all in white, pure as her mind:Her face was veiled, yet to my fancied sight,Love, sweetness, goodness in her person shinedSo clear, as in no face with more delight.But O as to embrace me she inclinedI waked, she fled, and day brought back my night.


- John Milton -





Love Poem # 15



I Love You




When April bends above meAnd finds me fast asleep,Dust need not keep the secretA live heart died to keep.
When April tells the thrushes,The meadow-larks will know,And pipe the three words lightlyTo all the winds that blow.
Above his roof the swallows,In notes like far-blown rain,Will tell the little sparrowBeside his window-pane.
O sparrow, little sparrow,When I am fast asleep,Then tell my love the secretThat I have died to keep.


- Sara Teasdale -





Love Poem # 16



A Special World



A special world for you and meA special bond one cannot seeIt wraps us up in its cocoonAnd holds us fiercely in its womb.
Its fingers spread like fine spun goldGently nestling us to the foldLike silken thread it holds us fastBonds like this are meant to last.
And though at times a thread may breakA new one forms in its wakeTo bind us closer and keep us strongIn a special world, where we belong.


- Sheelagh Lennon -





Love Poem # 17



Life in a Love



Escape me?Never—Beloved!While I am I, and you are you,So long as the world contains us both,Me the loving and you the loth,While the one eludes, must the other pursue.My life is a fault at last, I fear:It seems too much like a fate, indeed!Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed.But what if I fail of my purpose here? It is but to keep the nerves at strain,To dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall,And baffled, get up to begin again,—So the chase takes up one's life, that's all.While, look but once from your farthest bound,At me so deep in the dust and dark,No sooner the old hope drops to groundThan a new one, straight to the selfsame mark,I shape me—EverRemoved!


- Robert Browning -





Love Poem # 18



Motionless



If time could stand still, I’d freeze it here,So you’d always hold me, close and near.In your arms, where I’m meant to be,Filled with the perfect love you’ve given me.
A bond so strong, a hold so tight,To know you’re the one; my ‘Mr. Right’.A blessing sent from up above,In you I’ve found my one true love.
Our lives entwined to be as one,Upon this journey we’ve just begun.Where you and I will find no less,Than eternal love and happiness.


- Kelley Saint -





Love Poem # 19



Keeper Of My Dreams



When you're not here to share my days and nightsMy life is so incompleteFor you are my heart, my soulThe ‘oneness’ I had known to seek
Without you I merely exist from day to dayWith you I know that I will findAll that I have been searching forMy completeness, my eternal peace of mind
You are the keeper of my dreamsThe man who holds my heart in his handsThe one I want to spend my life withThe one with whom I will always stand
Stand beside through thick and thinThrough all that life will throw our wayKnowing that this special love we shareWill guide us, each and every day
This journey was started long agoBefore this time and placeThe journey of completenessAs two hearts and souls embrace
Forever is what I want with youFor the search is at an endOur hearts have found each otherAs lovers, as soul-mates, as friends.


- Denise Mangano -





Love Poem # 20



On May Morning



Now the bright morning Star, Day's harbinger,Comes dancing from the East, and leads with herThe Flowery May, who from her green lap throwsThe yellow Cowslip, and the pale Primrose.Hail bounteous May that dost inspireMirth and youth, and warm desire, Woods and Groves, are of thy dressing,Hill and Dale, doth boast thy blessing.Thus we salute thee with our early Song,And welcome thee, and wish thee long.

Love Poem # 1


I loved you first... (from Monna Innominata)


I loved you first: but afterwards your love,Outsoaring mine, sang such a loftier songAs drowned the friendly cooings of my dove.Which owes the other most? My love was long,And yours one moment seemed to wax more strong;I loved and guessed at you, you contrued meAnd loved me for what might or might not be—Nay, weights and measures do us both a wrong.For verily love knows not 'mine' or 'thine';With separate 'I' and 'thou' free love has done,For one is both and both are one in love:Rich love knows nought of 'thine that is not mine';Both have the strength and both the length thereof,Both of us, of the love which makes us one.


- Christina Rossetti -


Love Poem # 2


What I Love About You


I love the way you look at me,Your eyes so bright and blue.I love the way you kiss me,Your lips so soft and smooth.
I love the way you make me so happy,And the ways you show you care.I love the way you say, "I Love You,"And the way you're always there.
I love the way you touch me,Always sending chills down my spine.I love that you are with me,And glad that you are mine.

- Crystal Jansen -


Love Poem # 3


I dream of you, to wake... (from Monna Innominata)


I dream of you, to wake: would that I might Dream of you and not wake but slumber on; Nor find with dreams the dear companion gone, As, Summer ended, Summer birds take flight. In happy dreams I hold you full in night. I blush again who waking look so wan; Brighter than sunniest day that ever shone, In happy dreams your smile makes day of night. Thus only in a dream we are at one, Thus only in a dream we give and take The faith that maketh rich who take or give; If thus to sleep is sweeter than to wake, To die were surely sweeter than to live, Though there be nothing new beneath the sun.


- Christina Rossetti -


Love Poem # 4


The Definition of Love


My Love is of a birth as rareAs 'tis for object strange and high:It was begotten by DespairUpon Impossibility.
Magnanimous Despair aloneCould show me so divine a thing,Where feeble Hope could ne'er have flownBut vainly flapped its Tinsel wing.
And yet I quickly might arriveWhere my extended soul is fixt,But Fate does iron wedges drive,And always crowds itself betwixt.
For Fate with jealous eye does seeTwo perfect Loves; nor lets them close:Their union would her ruin be,And her tyrannic power depose.
And therefore her decrees of steelUs as the distant Poles have placed,(Though Love's whole World on us doth wheel)Not by themselves to be embraced.
Unless the giddy Heaven fall,And Earth some new convulsion tear;And, us to join, the World should allBe cramped into a planisphere.
As lines so Loves oblique may wellThemselves in every angle greet:But ours so truly parallel,Though infinite can never meet. Therefore the Love which us doth bind,But Fate so enviously debars,Is the conjunction of the Mind,And opposition of the Stars.

- Andrew Marvell -


Love poem # 5


When You are Old


When you are old and grey and full of sleep,And nodding by the fire, take down this book,And slowly read, and dream of the soft lookYour eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,And loved your beauty with love false or true,But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fledAnd paced upon the mountains overheadAnd hid his face amid a crowd of stars.


- W. B. Yeats -


Love Poem # 6

Every Second Beat


If I had a thousand pages,I could never name them all,The reasons that I love you,For the list would be too tall.
I love you for the melody,I hear within your voice.The way your blue eyes hold me,A captive, but by choice.
I love you for your gentle hands,That melt away my pain.I love you for your loving heart,That made mine beat again.
I love you for your loving smile,With which my old heart soars.These are some of the reasons,Every second beat is yours.

- Mark Liverance -



Love Poem # 7

In Love


The day you appeared I lost my heartTo you, to love.And from that day I cannot partFrom you, from love.
You hold me tightTo you, to love.In my thoughts all day and nightOf you, of love.
I offer all that I have to giveTo you, to love.And all my days I want to liveWith you, in love.

- Amanda Marie Burson -


Love Poem # 8


Love in a Life


Room after room,I hunt the house throughWe inhabit together.Heart, fear nothing, for, heart, thou shalt find her,Next time, herself!—not the trouble behind herLeft in the curtain, the couch's perfume!As she brushed it, the cornice-wreath blossomed anew,— Yon looking-glass gleamed at the wave of her feather.
Yet the day wears,And door succeeds door;I try the fresh fortune— Range the wide house from the wing to the centre.Still the same chance! she goes out as I enter.Spend my whole day in the quest,—who cares?But 'tis twilight, you see,—with such suites to explore,
Such closets to search, such alcoves to importune!

- Robert Browning -


Love Poem # 9

Inside Of Me


If you could see inside my soulsee inside my heartyou would know how I long for youwhenever we're apart
If you could see inside my headif thoughts were things to seeyou would know how I cherish youhow much you mean to me
In all the ways you comfort methe way you hold me nearthe way you know just what to doto chase away my fear
The sparkle in your beautiful eyesyour smile, laugh, your touchare just a few of many reasonsI love you oh so much
Knowing I can talk to youabout any and everythingand knowing together we will getthrough whatever life may bring
I could search the whole world overand this I know is trueI would never find another lovelike the love I found with you
Though with each new day, each sunrisewe can't know what's in storethere is one thing I know for sureeach day I love you more
So if you could see inside my headif thoughts were things to seeyou would know I blessed I feelto have you here with me

Love Poem # 10


How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)


How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.I love thee to the depth and breadth and heightMy soul can reach, when feeling out of sightFor the ends of being and ideal grace.I love thee to the level of every day'sMost quiet need, by sun and candle-light.I love thee freely, as men strive for right.I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.I love thee with the passion put to useIn my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.I love thee with a love I seemed to loseWith my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,I shall but love thee better after death.

How To Write LOVE LETTERS

How To write LOVE LETTERS
"Let these words not only touch your eyes,but let them travel through your soul and rest them in your heart."

"You cannot see its intangible waves as they flow towards you, darling, but in these lines you will hear, as it were, the distant beating of the surf."
So we know love is truly an eternal feeling with these romantic love letters. Now write your own love letter and shower the spring of love on your sweetheart. Read through these great love letter tips and express your innermost feelings to your beloved this Valentine's Day.
Learning how to write a love letter isn't difficult. Once you gather your thoughts and follow these simple steps to express the way you feel in a love letter you'll know how to do it.

Here's How:

1. Clear your desk and your mind of distractions. If you love someone enough to craft this letter, he or she deserves your full attention.
2. Place a picture of the one you love in front of you.
3. Put on your favorite music.
4. Take out your best letter writing stationery and pen.
5. On another sheet of letter paper, make two lists: a) the unique qualities you love about him/her; b) your hopes for the future together.
6. Personalize the love letter salutation. "Dear ___ ," or "To my darling _____," are both fine.
7. In the body of the love letter, begin by telling him/her what you think makes him/her so special. List at least three different qualities of the one you love in the letter, ideally emotional, physical, and spiritual ones.
8. In the following paragraph of your love letter, share your hopes and dreams for the future you can have together.
9. Personalize the closing of the letter. "I will love you always," "Loving you forever," "My heart is yours," are all good possibilities.
10. Don't forget to sign your love letter!
11. Spray the love letter with a light fragrance.
12. Drop the love letter in the mail, and look forward to the response.
Keep in Mind:

1. Keep Your Letter SimpleWhen writing your letter keep it simple and of moderate length. If you go on and on for pages your sweetheart will definitely get lost in the midst of words and thoughts. Express your feelings while making your beloved feel loved and special.
2. Scented Love LettersWe generally relate to a particular scent associated with the person. So sprinkle some of your favorite perfume or the perfume your sweetheart loves best on you on your love letter. It will create its own magic altogether.
3. Colorful StationaryWell it's a love letter so don't take out the boring notepad and a blue pen to express your feelings. It will clearly show that you didn't give it much thought. So pick up a nice color pen and a romantic letter pad and say it on this Valentine.
4. Love Letter ProposalTwo things you should never do in a love letter is to propose or to make up for a fight. Go in person and say it. Your beloved deserves this much. Proposal is a beautiful and romantic gesture, so use your love letter to initiate it. Like send your sweetheart a letter saying where to meet and then in person with flowers and all propose to her.
5. Use SimilesThere is no comparison for true feelings and yet we need to express them. So use similes to show your deepest feelings. Like you can say "the stars loose their shine when I look at you".
6. The Magical WordsFinally saying those three magical words, "I Love You" will be the best way to close your letter.

"Out of the depths of my happy heart wells a great tide of love and prayer for this priceless treasure that is confided to my life-long keeping."

Pretty Woman (1990)

The Cutting Edge (1992)

They share moments and parts of their lives, determining that women and men can not be 'just friends'. Once in NY, they go their separate ways, but later meet again.

'When Harry Met Sally' is a hilarious look at love and friendship between a man and a woman.
Pure Country (1992)

Now after ten years, two fianc? and 3,000 miles between them, Jonathan and Sara have one last chance to find out if what might have been, could still be.

Casablanca (1942)

Greatest Love Quotes # 3

The strongest thematic message in the Bible, which contains the Word of God, is God's love. Everything revolves around God's love. God, who created the universe by His Word, is the source of love, which is love in its truest, purest and perfect form.
Greatest Love Quotes # 4

Many religious sects in the Philippines interpret the Bible in many ways. They differ in their interpretations of the way to salvation. There are those who claim that only by good works can men find salvation. There are those who say that faith alone, even without manifestation of good works or love, results in salvation. There are those who say that only those who work miracles by the Holy Spirit are truly saved.

Greatest Love Quotes # 5

For this, be warned. Not all men who preach the Word of God, no matter how eloquent they may sound, or do miracles beyond logical comprehension have found salvation. Neither wisdom nor power to cast out demons is an assurance of salvation.

Greatest Love Quotes # 6

Only those who love truly are assured of salvation. Unless a man loves God and the people around him, he is not saved. How can anyone proclaim himself saved if he does not love his brother?

Greatest Love Quotes # 7

In the love of God, let us come to an understanding of His Word. When asked what the Bible is about, many people could not readily respond. What is the Bible about? The Bible is about God's love. While it is true that the Bible speaks about sin and forgiveness or death and salvation, this is because of one Biblical truth: God's love.

Greatest Love Quotes # 8

Let us grasp how wide and long and high and deep the love of God is. God's love endures forever (Psalm 118:1). The earth is filled with God's love (Psalm 119:64). His love is even better than life (Psalm 63:3) and surpasses knowledge (Ephesians 3:18).

Greatest Love Quotes # 9

"Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38-39).

Greatest Love Quotes # 10

By His love, He sent Jesus Christ to the world. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).

Greatest Love Quotes # 11

"This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loves us and sent His son as atoning sacrifice for our sins" (I John 4:9-10).

Greatest Love Quotes # 12

"God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). "In love, He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will - to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the One He loves" (Ephesians 1:5-6).

Greatest Love Quotes # 13

"Because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved" (Ephesians 2:4-5).

Greatest Love Quotes # 14

A question that some people ask is if God really loves all men, why would He allow the sinners to be punished. Our God, who is rich in love, reigns with justice and righteousness. "The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet He does not leave the guilty unpunished" (Numbers 14:8). But the Lord, God of heaven, the great and awesome God, "keeps His covenant of love with those who love Him and obey His commands" (Nehemiah 1:15).

Greatest Love Quotes # 15

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has endorsed love for God and among us. "For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love" (Galatians 5:6).

Greatest Love Quotes # 16

Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command" (John 15:13-14). His commands: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. And all the Law and the prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:37-40).

Greatest Love Quotes # 17

He even exhorts us to love our enemies. "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you that you may be sons of your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:44). By loving each other, we will be worthy of His love. "Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another" (John 13:34-35).

Greatest Love Quotes # 18

According to Paul, love is the fulfillment of the law. "Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. The commandments, 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not covet,' and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law" (Romans 13:8-10).

Greatest Love Quotes # 19

Three apostles of Jesus Christ - John, Peter and Paul - have all encouraged us to love one another as a testimony of God's salvation. John said that love comes from God and that God is love. "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love" (1 John 4:7-8).

Greatest Love Quotes # 20

Peter said that love defeats sins. "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins (I Peter 4:8). Paul said that of faith, hope and love, the greatest is love (I Corinthians 13:13). The first fruit of the Holy Spirit is love (Galatians 5:22-23). Love binds all good virtues in perfect unity (Colossians 3:14).

Greatest Love Quotes # 21

Paul said that the gift to do miracles would be nothing without love. "If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have no love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have a faith that can move mountains but have no love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have no love, I gain nothing" (1 Corinthians 13:1-3).

Greatest Love Quotes # 22

How can we show our love to God and to our fellowmen? Jesus Christ said that if we love Him, we will obey what He commands. "Whoever has may commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves Me. He who loves Me will be loved by my Father, and too will love Him and show myself to him" (John 14:21).

Greatest Love Quotes # 23

Jesus said: "If anyone loves Me, he will obey My teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me will not obey my teaching" (John 14:23-24).

Greatest Love Quotes # 24

The apostle John said, "Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves His child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out His commands. This is love for God: to obey His commands" (1 John 5:1-3).

Greatest Love Quotes # 25

"If anyone says 'I love God,' yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And He has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother" (1 John 4:20-21).

Flirting Tips

9 Irresistible Flirting Tips ? How To Sizzle and Dazzle the Opposite Sex


You don't have to be a movie star look-alike to sizzle and dazzle the opposite sex. All you need is a genuine sweet looking smile plus a few irresistible flirting tips.


Flirting Tips # 1


1. For women, we preen or groom ourselves subconsciously when we are attracted to someone ? by smoothing down our hair or clothes, checking our lipstick, or straightening a tie. Combine your grooming gesture with a smile and a gaze. You can also toss your hair to one side ? a combination 1-2 punch of preening and a flash of neck.


Flirting Tips # 2


2. A genuine, friendly smile is you're most powerful. Behavior experts agree that a smile makes you more attractive and approachable. Guys, if a woman lock eyes and smiles with you three or more times in an evening, you have been given an unmistakably clear signal that she's interested. Make your move, if you don't, somebody else will.


Flirting Tips # 3


3. Gaze the eyes with the person you're flirting with for a full five to six seconds, smile and then drop your fix. Do this at least three times in a ten to fifteen-minute period. Your target needs to know you are flirting with him; making eye contact is a universal signal of openness.


Flirting Tips # 4


4. One of the more successful flirting techniques a woman can employ is to expose her neck. A head tilt, the classic hair flip, or the over-the-shoulder glance attracts men's attention, exposes your neck, and gives you the opportunity to lock eyes. The over-the-shoulder move is extra-effective because it's sexy and sends a signal to your target that they are worth a second look.


Flirting Tips # 5


5. Members of both sexes are subconsciously attracted to red, moist lips because they signal youth, sex and fertility. Red also increases a man's heart rate. How to capitalize on it? Wearing a red lipstick gives women's lips not only a youthful color but also a more obvious smile and whiter teeth. Using a super-shiny lip gloss makes your lips look moist and kissable. Men or women should lick their lips subtly (you don't want to look like you're trying out for a porno flick) or bite the lower lip ? both are extremely effective flirting behaviors.


Flirting Tips # 6


6. Men should stand tall with the shoulders pulled back and squared; women are biologically attracted to more dominant men. Feel free to take up some space.


Flirting Tips # 7


7. For women, crossing and uncrossing their legs is a surefire flirting technique, especially if you're wearing high heels. A woman crossing her legs appears seductive to men and it makes them desire to see more. Slipping the heel out of your shoe and dangling it on your toes is another trick. The arch of a foot sends a sexual message and mimics a woman's curves, and makes a man's heart race.


Flirting Tips # 8


8. Once you and your flirting target start talking, the next step is to intensify the attraction. How? Smile and maintain eye contact, focus all of your attention on what they say. No one is more attractive than someone who gives you an undivided attention. Employ the nod and head tilt techniques. Smiling and laughing are crucial at this point ? it the quickly puts the other person at ease. Making low-level contact by brushing the shoulder or elbow is another effective flirting technique.


Flirting Tips # 9


9. People mirror each other's body language ? gestures, voice volume, posture, etc when they are attracted. Very subtly mirror your flirting target's behavior ? if she leans forward, lean forward; if he scratches his head, scratch your head. When you mirror someone's behavior, they'll begin to feel, think and believe as though the two of you are connected.

Romantic Valentine Ideas

Romantic Valentine Ideas # 2


ROMANTIC IDEA # 19


If your partner has a pet that she adores, at Christmas, in addition to buying a gift for your partner, buy a small present for her pet.


ROMANTIC IDEA # 20


Go for a walk on the beach. Trace out the shape of a large love heart in the sand. Sit inside the heart and cuddle your partner as you watch the sun go down.


ROMANTIC IDEA # 21


Invite your partner to go for a walk. Get a back pack and pack the following items: A picnic blanket, a selection of fruit in small containers eg. strawberries, grapes, watermelon and kiwi fruit. Some cheese and crackers. Some sandwiches. A small tin of caviar. A half bottle of champagne and two plastic champagne glasses. If your partner asks what's in the backpack, just say a jacket and some lunch.
When you find a romantic spot, ask if she would like to stop for a bite to eat. Open your pack and remove the items one by one to set up your picnic. The last item you remove should be the glasses and champagne.


ROMANTIC IDEA # 22


If you play a musical instrument, create a romantic environment in which to play for your partner. For example, let's say you play the saxophone. Contact your partner's roommate and arrange for her to make sure that your partner steps out onto the balcony of their apartment at exactly 9.30pm.
Drive to her apartment and set up before hand. Place a large sparkler in the music holder of your sax and light it as your partner steps on to the balcony. Play something slow and romantic.


ROMANTIC IDEA # 23


Use this idea if your partner is going to work and you are staying at home for some reason (Perhaps you are sick or are working from home).
Say goodbye to her at the front door and then immediately send an email to her work address. The email should simply say, "Miss you already". The email will be in her in-box when she does her morning email check.


ROMANTIC IDEA # 24


If your partner has long hair, take the time to brush it using long slow strokes. This is particularly effective after she has had a shower or when she is getting ready for bed.


ROMANTIC IDEA # 25


On a special occasion like your partner's birthday, plan a treasure hunt for her. The fun begins when you suggest going for a walk on the beach.
When you get to the beach, carry a small bag with you. The bag contains a bottle that you prepared earlier. Inside the bottle is a treasure map. To make the treasure map look authentic, burn the edges with a match.
As you are walking, slip the bottle out of your bag and let it drop to the sand near the water's edge. You may have to pause and kiss your partner to do this unnoticed. Walk a little further up the beach then turn around and retrace your steps to 'discover' the bottle.
On the map have a dotted line leading from the beach to a nearby cafe. At the cafe, your partner won't know what to look for so suggest that you just sit down and have a cup of coffee.
When the waitress delivers the coffee, she suggests to your partner that she might find what she is looking for under the coaster. When your partner turns over the coaster she finds a key taped to the bottom. Obviously you will have to set this up before hand with the waitress. Most waitresses will be happy to help a romantic guy out with this type of thing.
At the next stop on the map, your partner finds or is given a spade. Then at the last stop on the map your partner finds a large 'X' made up of two crossed sticks. She digs and discovers a locked box. The key unlocks the box to reveal her present.


ROMANTIC IDEA # 26


Invite your partner on a date by sending her a plain brown envelope containing a tape. On the tape, record the Mission Impossible sound track and then record yourself saying, “Your mission if you choose to accept it is to make your way to Café Venoli, 123 Park Lane at 18.30 Eastern Standard Time. There you will rendezvous with a stunningly attractive man wearing a red carnation. The future of the free world is now in your hands. This tape will self destruct in five seconds.” Then record ten beeps from a stopwatch and record yourself saying, “Would you believe ten seconds…” Its corny but it usually gets a laugh!


ROMANTIC IDEA # 27


Contact your partner's family and ask if there was anything she always wanted when she was a little girl.
For example if she always wanted a porcelain doll, buy one for her birthday. She will not only appreciate the gift but also the fact that you were thoughtful enough to find out what she always wanted.


ROMANTIC IDEA # 28


Organize a professional photo shoot to obtain a portrait of the two of you as a couple. Frame the picture and put it somewhere prominent. Remember to make sure you give your partner plenty of notice so that she can get ready.


ROMANTIC IDEA # 29


Write a note saying "I thought of you today, and it made me smile."
Leave the note somewhere where your partner is sure to find it.


ROMANTIC IDEA # 30


For Valentines Day, buy your partner a charm bracelet with at least 14 charms.
Remove all the charms and let your partner 'find' one charm each day for the first fourteen days of February. On Valentines Day give her the bracelet and any remaining charms.
