I came across a video of a monk speaking about romanticism that makes us confuse genuine love with attachment.

Though the things the speaker was saying doesn't even mention the Lord Jesus Christ in the equation, the things said contains very real & true issues of the human heart & relationships--in all its beauty & complexities. It surely applies to a greater facet of love towards our close human relationships--family, special someone or friends.
I wanna highlight this on the speaker's speech:
"People should come together already feeling fulfilled within themselves & just therefore appreciating that in the other rather than expecting the other to supply that sense of well-being which they don't feel on their own."
Each one of us who've accepted Jesus as Lord & Saviour is already COMPLETE in Christ, whether we feel that or not. What matters is what the Lord says & how He sees us.
[Colossians 2:10] "..and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power."
I particularly like the TLB version of Colossians 2 due to its simple and quickly understandable translation.

For additional reading, the link below may be helpful & I hope that we see one another through the eyes of God especially when things get tough.
