When I see these, it makes sense why lifelong love is being delayed. None of these drivers aim at love. Love opens up and gives of itself freely. Fear closes off and withdraws. Love risks vulnerability for the sake of the beloved. Pride will not tolerate the risk of self for the other. Love embraces all of a person, on their best days and their worst. Lust says I only want the parts of you I can use. As long as fear, lust, and pride are in the driver’s seat, the culture will be speeding away from healthy love.
