Love is a losing game

Love is an emotion that should not be given easily, before you give the emotion of love you should be conscious to make sure this person is giving you loyalty, respect, dedication and they are as committed to you as you are to them. Love is the number one reason people get married and love should not be the number one reason to get married, these other qualities should be in place first. If you give love too soon you can be with someone and love them but not trust them. A relationship like that is doomed from the start, there are many that are in toxic relationships that they should not be in. If you ask them why are they still with the person more times than not they will tell you it's because they love them. That's a clear sign that their priorities were not in order. I reiterate love is an emotion you should make your significant other earn first. If loyalty, trust, respect, commitment and dedication are there first in my opinion the marriage or relationship is solidified enough for love at that point.
