"THREE" IS A MAGIC NUMBER. LOOK AROUND, "THREES" ARE AFFILIATED AND INTEGRATED IN EVERY PART OF ALL SOCIETIES. OFTEN, AT MINIMUM, THERE ARE "THREE" COMPONENTS TO ANY CONCEPT. TO INTERACT; THE number "THREE" REPRESENTS harmony, wisdom and understanding. WHEN IT COMES TO time; "THREE" DEFINES THE past, present AND future. "THREE" ALSO DESCRIBES THE PROCESS OF CREATION THROUGH THOUGHTS, WORDS AND DEEDS. THINK ABOUT IT. OUR (HIDDEN/UNSEEN) FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS ARE CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED THROUGH OUR (AUDIBLY/DISCERNED) WORDS OF EXPRESSIONS, FOLLOWED BY OUR (PHYSICAL/TANGIBLE) ACTIONS. LIKE MOST OTHER CONCEPTS, THERE ARE THREE (3) CHARACTERISTICS WITHIN THE FOUNDATION OF "TRUE LOVE. THE "SPIRIT OF LOVE" OPERATES WITHIN A FULL RANGE OF IDEAS, WORDS AND DEEDS. FROM THOUGHTS TO FEELINGS AND FINALLY BEHAVIORS, THIS TRIAD IS IMMUTABLY INDESTRUCTIBLE. LOVE IS ABLE TO WORK ITS FULL COURSE WHEN THESE THREE (3) COMPONENTS ARE MUTUALLY IN AGREEMENT AND INTERACTIVE. THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY CRITERIA WE CAN USE FOR DETERMINING "SPIRITUAL DISPOSITION." THE "SPIRITUAL DISPOSITION" OF FAMILIES, GROUPS, AND ORGANIZATION CAN BE DISCOVERED BY DISCERNING AND OBSERVING THESE CHARACTERISTICS. IT IS ADVISABLE TO SEARCH FOR AT LEAST THREE (3) SIMULTANEOUS EXPRESSIONS WHEN LOOKING FOR TRUE AND LASTING LOVE.

THE LEGACY OF LOVE STANDS UPON THE LEGS OF TRIANGULAR LEVERAGE 

The triangle, tripod and three-legged frameworks of all sorts represent a basic form of fundamental self-supported structures. This rudimentary "Trinitarian" principle applies across multiple aspects of existence. The "rule of three" conceptually follows the "rule of two." It takes two to tango. The dance creates a third distinct manifestation. Procreation, namely childbirth, is the miraculous continuation of a species and manifestation of God's blessings. The "tango" is spawned from the mutual cooperative actions of two. It ALWAYS takes two to produce a third even stronger bond. Ecclesiastes" declares that A threefold cord is not quickly broken.  Three is a magic number!

Relationships built upon the three legs of communication, nurturing and cooperation generate mutual feelings which form a triangle of interdependence. Interactions built upon the three legs of empathy, understanding and forgiveness create a triangle of healing and revival. It should be obvious by now that although two is the start of most relationships, three provides an even stronger foundation. The main caveat is that more energy and effort is required. We should anticipate expending additional strength to maintain it. If more people understood the true meaning of love's expressions infidelity would be rare and divorce would be even more rare. The level of commitment while dating, is insufficient for the level of commitment when engaged. The level of commitment when engaged is insufficient for the level of commitment when married. The level of commitment for a married couple is insufficient for the level of commitment when married with children. Most of us know that yesterday's news does not make tomorrows headlines. It may not be wise to rely solely upon today's present answers to solve tomorrow's challenges. 

Whenever the subject of love is discussed, sex may also be included. Love and sex are two different things. Their close association should not confuse their obvious distinctions. Both require some degree of self-exposure or nakedness, but only love can create "spiritual" intimacy. Sex is always expressed physically, whereas love spans at least three dimensions of existence. The marriage of an emotional, physical and spiritual union constitutes another unique level of love known as connubial bliss! love is expressed physically, mentally (emotionally/psychologically) and spiritually (consciousness/soul). In marriage sex should seal the deal through the bond of love. Sexual intercourse is an alignment between physical sexual desire, emotional fulfillment and the "spirit of intimacy." The sharing and joining of physical, biological, chemical, psychological and spiritual freedoms can be uniquely expressed throughout a marital union. The threefold interaction of giving, receiving and exchanging power through sex should never be underestimated. The "spiritual" purpose of sex is the formation of a conjugal perpetual unbreakable bond. The "biological/physical" purpose of sex is for the formation of family, pleasure and procreation. Love is difficult to describe without mentioning marriage. Marriage commits its participants to form a unique bond that can only be found in that estate. That level of emotional commitment sealed with intimacy by a physical sexual union should not be shared with any others. Even the thought of such is sin! No married couple should ever share this element of their heart in fantasy, imagination or in jest. Sharing this part of the heart only tears the marriage apart! Remember the vows. 

 SEX HAS LIMITATIONS - LOVE HAS AT LEAST 3 LEGS AND NO LIMITS.
