Your initial question doesn't make sense. What does envy have to do with monogamous tradition?SikOseph said:

Somehow I believe that this will be the entire thread.The_root_of_all_evil said:
OT: Love is psychological/physiological interaction, it's neither good or evil. In general it makes survivability of DNA easier, even if it can get misguided regarding that purpose. Calling things love that aren't evolutionarily enabling (getting turned on by the household fern at the end of the staircase, say) aren't a problem since "love" wasn't designed.
Your argument simply doesn't make any sense.SikOseph said:
This is why I presume you are simply trying to be clever or edgy by making the statement "the Bible says love doesn't envy, but supports monogamy, so the bible contradicts itself". ben---neb was just providing what they believe love is, and you tried to make it into a philosophical debate.
Anyone who is just looking to create an argument where one isn't warranted doesn't deserve me being nice to them. It does, however, inspire me to "nip it in the bud".
Love is, in its simplest form, the natural desire to have a single dedicated partner. If humans weren't governed by social rules, intelligent reasoning and everything else that's defined us for ten thousand years, we would simply be refered to by the land-dwelling cetaceans that would then rule the world instead of us as "animals who mate for life". Love is a word describing the whole spectrum of emotions and reactions that makes up this otherwise rather simple instinct.
To prove that I am not a machine incapable of being completley irrational like my fellow meatbags, I will also add my personal perspective on what love is;
Love is fucking fantastic.

Ok, back at the very beginning before sin entered the world then love would not envy. Adam and Eve would have had a perfect love both for themselves and God. And God's love to them would also be like the love described above.SikOseph said:
After Adam and Eve broke God's direct command then there was the Fall of Man were sin entered the world. Sin corrupted everything including love which means that man's love does envy. However, God's love remained perfect because is perfect.
So yeah, love does envy, but it shouldn't. And when Jesus comes again and there is a new heaven and new earth then love will no longer envy as all sin will be punished.
love only goes one way
makes the other person reason with the lover
the lover ends up hating themselves more for the attempt than anything else

love- caring about someone else's wellbeing an equal to or greater than amount than you care for you're own wellbeing
In my opinion, there are two types of love: Material and uh...non-material.
Material is when you feel love for physical things, like I am a gamer and I genuinely get attached to my consoles/computer, if they are ever broken I get greatly upset to the point of tears.
Non-material is when you love a person, more like attraction to either how they look or how they act. This love is when you want to spend time with that person and you'can't say why, you just do.
I know this explanation sucks but I hope someone understands what I mean XD

gahhhhhhh....i wanted to do that.The_root_of_all_evil said:
well, i could get into the biochemistry of love, but i prefer to impart my definition. since the root of love in in sexual desire (as it's needed to carry on the species blah blah blah, boring stuff), the most important differentiation from lust is that there's more than that. the person you love has to be a friend too. so, if you feel intense desire for a person that you're very good friends with, that's love.
