“What are Words”: What does love mean to you?

Character Traits· TV/Video Clips

What does love look like?

In the media, we see a lot of different representations of love.  But really…they are mostly the same.  We usually see a pretty woman, a handsome man, some form of drama, resolution, happily ever after and “THE END”.

But what happens when tragedy strikes?  Maybe the pretty woman becomes blind or suffers debilitating depression.  Maybe the man can’t move his body or speak. What happens then? 

I adore this song because it is the true story of a man, his fiance and a terrible car accident 2 months before their wedding.  It shows commitment, and that love is really more than what we say–it is shown in what we do.  This song has become an anthem in our family and we all love it; my kids have even learned how to play it on the piano. We hope you enjoy it just as much as we do

*Spoiler: Several years after the accident, this couple did break up romantically, but they are still deeply involved in each others’ lives and remain best friends. Still, I strongly believe in the principle this song teaches and feel it is worth sharing.

Discussion

-Why is it important to be committed in a relationship? (family, friendship. marriage)
-What is love vs. lust?

-How can you tell when someone truly cares about you?
-How can you consistently show ANY one you love that you will always be there for them?
-What does being together in bad times do for a couple’s relationship?

Tell me in the comments!

What do you like people to do for you to show that they love you? What is your love language?

Don’t miss out!
