The Intro
Basically, the title is so because the writer is a man. It is chosen as revealed, and i took my time to think on it. After i was convinced about it, it was published. Why is it that Love and talks on love only heard in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship and after marriage, nothing ? Is love restricted only in the presence of a girlfriend ?
The reason/inspiration for this article(s) is and will be hidden under the pages of stories of my life, where girls were hurt and had shed tears because of me and my actions and the tears in my eyes out of the desperation to be loved and accepted. Yet again are the stories of my friends, girls and boys, who have hurt themselves, by beginning with the wrong choices in relationship, ending up with the realization of the wrong, and ultimately breaking up from it, with a release of frustration, disappointment, hatred, sense of betrayal, injustice, and with a huge amount of emotional pain and hurts, scaring those memories into theirs souls which would remain in their lives as long as they live, unless Sovereign Intervention.
One of the words which I dearly hold onto in my life is "Restore". This is what God through Jesus did in my life and is doing in my life in areas of my life and this is for which I would love to used for, by Him. A closer related word to "Restore" is "Repair". Let's take the case of a building. It is always recommended, is in fact the responsibility of the architect to build a firm foundation before the building itself. But places like in India, things doesn't happen that way. Many of us bribe the architect so that the work picks up speed even though compromising on quality. And the result? One fine day everything falls down. Note that, it's not only the builder or the people who are inside are affected, but the people around it too. The 9/11 attack on the Twin tower affected everybody, both in and out. It's the same in relationships. Many times we might have started building on the wrong, unleveled, shaking foundations. But it's better to re-do it before continuing with the building and before staying in it. If ignored, the end result would be disastrous and painful, both for you and for others. Please note that laying the foundations will take time, but it will be firm and its worth it.
Remain, Restore, or Reconstruct: Which one do you choose ?
At first, I thought that I could just write a long article and complete it, till realized that the topic is way huge to even be completed in a ten thousand page book. So whatever I share is just a tip of the ice-berg and it will be in a series of 7 posts and the final post with conclusion. I'll discover with you few main aspects of relationships and what Love is and what Love is not. My prayer is that by the end of this article series, we will be able to evaluate our relationship(s) or the relationship(s) into which we are going to enter, and make the right choices. Don't step into the house until you make sure that the foundation doesn't shake or the roof doesn't fall on you.
The following will be the topics.
1. Truth with Grace..
2. The Race in the Same Direction on the Same Track...
3. Motive behind the proposal...
4. The Unopened Gift Box
5. Beginning of Commitment with declaration...
6. Expression through Selflessness...
7. Explosion of Expression...

7. Explosion of Expression...
And finally the conclusion.
I'll try to write on each in a gap of 1-3 days, as i have to wait and think as I have a responsibility at hand to the reader.
After all, you are responsible for your life and up to certain extend, the life of whom you are involved with.
ps: To the married people: If these articles speaks to you, well and good. Please don't let anything break up the relationship you have your spouse. Once the choice is made, that's it, no matter what differences or difficulties. But there is still grace which could restore and re-new the relationship. If you are one of them, I could try to help you get connected to my mentor or someone who can help you in a better way.
