Love the one you're with....

So I am learning to continue to love the one I am with. He has been by my side through thick and thin. And I mean that literally. As I have gained weight, he has continued to make me feel like the apple of his eye. As I have lost weight, he has complemented me and humored me as I pounce on him like a dog in heat. So as I pray for the resistance to the fruit of another, I am strengthened in my faith. I can not do this alone. I have to ask for help. Yes, I am still like a school girl, giddy with desire. But now I have the ability to fully metastasize the hurt that would come from irresponsible behavior. It comes back to an ability to self-control and discipline. This was my challenge with alcohol and continues to erupt in other areas in my life. It would be helpful if someone shared their experience as a learning tool. No one ever writes a book on how they deal with these feelings in a healthy manner. Martin Luther King, Jr. couldn't even make the right choices and he was a minister. Is the feeling of acceleration that comes from a new found crush so powerful that it robs rationality from the most chaste? God gave us a powerful draw to the opposite sex to ensure the survival of the species. With this gift came a curse. How do we temper those urges and channel them into healthy endeavors?
