Love- More than a four letter word
by Jacky Jasper
The word is so simple, yet few people truly know the meaning. There are those who use the word falsely, then there are those who don’t use it at all.
Some people have a need to express “love” through gifts and other materialistic gestures. They are the one who go by the cliche ” actions speak louder than words”. But, what do your actions say? Simply because one shows affection through purchases, does not mean they show their true heart. I mean, look at the world around you. How many people do you know that seemingly have everything in the world financially, but are lacking both emotionally and spiritually? This just proves that money can’t buy love.
Then, we have those who use the word everyday with no true feeling behind it. Infact, these type of people have been known to use it as a type of weapon. These people use the word to manipulate their surrounding, often preying on those who are “relationship dependent”. They have no true concept of love, and you may wonder if they even love themselves.
So, where is the happy medium? Where do you bridge the gap between saying what you mean, and expressing yourself? It’s simple. Make everyday and every action count. Rather than buying your partner something flashy, choose to get them something that represents both you and the relationship. If you truly love your mate, express it in a manner that will never be questioned nor ignored. Know the difference between loving and caring, and never be afraid to show emotion, because you never know when your chance will end.
Always, Las Vegas Lexi….

Love is a gift from God, but it’s not always easy. I have been married 10 years to the man I fall even more deeply in love with the longer we are together. I consider this a success in a world where the divorce rate is over 60%. Love changes. When we first met, it was new and exciting. Now, it’s comfortable and relaxing. What I’ve learned is that love transcends personal ego (if you let it) and truly can change a person for the better. It takes commitment, reflection and sometimes hard work. It takes work personally and work as a team. But it is worth it to have someone by your side through anything. I can honestly tell you that I wouldn’t give it up for anything, money especially. My husband and I started from very humble beginnings and have grown into a success together. When we got engaged, we sat on a curb and I looked at him and said this is what I want to do the rest of my life. It wasn’t in a fancy restaurant, it wasn’t at a major event, it was sitting on a curb. That’s when I knew I loved him. 10 years later I still feel the same.
