Thank you for visiting Weekend Kindness-- the blog that helps you build positive relationships! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed so that you don't miss a single post from one of our great authors!

First love is something that has marvelled people as far back as history itself.  Solomon in the book of Proverbs in the Old Testament talks about the mysterious interactions between a man and a maid.  Love, be it the committment or the feeling, happens because of a choice– it’s a gift.  It’s something that’s given and not always received.

Kindness keeps those in love together and is the glue that holds the committed relationship together.  Since what we say and do impacts how we feel toward something, if we’re constantly doing kind things toward someone, we will feel good about that person!

Miss Sexy Jazz talks about what to do should you find yourself in love on her myspace blog:

You need to treat what it brings you with kindness. If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you, be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn’t choose to rest in the other person’s heart. If you find yourself someone in love with you but you don’t love him back, feel honored that love came and called at your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return. Do not take advantage; do not cause pain. How you deal with love is how you deal with yourself.

Although I don’t agree with a lot of this post, this point is clear.  We need to treat others how we wish to be treated.  But if you’re basing a reltionship totally on a feeling that will come and go, you’re in a relationship for the wrong reason.
