Understanding The Difference Between Love And Lust

By Jayde Johannsen


Having a rewarding relationship is the desire of most. The majority of such relationships that are considered fulfilling are the ones that have strong affection as their foundation. There are times however when pure desire is misconstrued with the loving feeling but the good news is it is possible for one to know the difference between love and lust as this guide goes on to show you how to clearly identify the two.

Physical beauty is given much weight when it comes to the emotions of just desiring. You give more importance to the outward appearance and give little or no interest in knowing the real person and beyond the looks, there is really nothing much about that person that you know. However, with loving, in addition to the outward appearance, you also are interested in knowing the person behind the looks that captured your attention.

No one is perfect, and with lust a person tends to be critical of any physical flaws in the other and always sees fault with them. It also becomes difficult for them to willingly accept those physicals flaws. On the hand, loving someone is being very understanding and not letting imperfections stand in the way.

Physical intimacy sometimes does play a role in a relationship. However, if you find your partner only gives weight to matters of intimacy and all the topics discussed are centered on bedroom matters, more so it signifies pure desire. Loving partners are able to freely discuss on all important issues of life, argue and reach to a compromise whether it is about children, finances, ambitions and other general matters, and will not just be discussing how good they are in the sack.

You also know it is the true loving feeling when you feel respect for each other, and are comfortable discussing your inmost fears without fear of criticism from your partner. In addition, in times of trouble, you stand by each other, while encouraging one another despite the outcome. However, with lust, criticism is so common and during the period of difficulties, that person most certainly abandons you.

Moreover, when you feel affection for someone, you tend to be protective over them, not wanting any harm to occur to them. You also feel sad when this person is hurting and you just want them to share with you what they are going through. When you desire however, it is the complete opposite, when hurting, this person will at times be nowhere to found to even offer a shoulder to cry on.

Anyone can have a satisfying relationship if only they are able to clearly identify these two emotions. The difference between love and lust requires one to be alert in order to correctly recognize the two as they can at times be confusing. In addition, ensure you take your time as time is the true test of sincere affection.
