What is love?

A very poor man lived with his
wife whose hair was so long it
touched her waist. One day the
wife asked her husband to buy
her a comb for her long hair so
that it can continue to grow well
and to be well groomed. The
man felt sorry and said he didnt
have money even to fix the strap
of his watch which had just
broken. The wife did not insist.
On his way to work the man
passed by a watch shop, sold his
damaged watch at a low price
and went to buy a comb for his
wife. He came back home in the
evening with a comb in his hand
ready to give to his wife. He was
surprised to see his wife with
very short hair. She had cut and
sold her hair and bought a brand
new watch for her husband.
Tears flowed simultaneously
from their eyes, not for the
futility of their actions, but for
the reciprocity of their love. Love
is when the other person's
happiness is more important
than your own. Give love and
show love where it matters and
let it be the God centered love.
How great our marriages will be
if only we as couples can out do
each other in love and sacrifice.
How awesome it will be that we
each wake up thinking of what
to do to make each other happy.
Selfishness must not be allowed.
