Is it really true that love is blind? And if it is why are couples not over looking each others shortcomings? Because if they do, I don't think there would be misunderstanding that would eventually leads to break up.
They say love is blind because it is a modernized version of an old scripture. The scripture says "Love covers a multitude of sins." It's not just love between a man and a woman in a relationship, it love in all relationships. When you love a person you are willing to overlook and/or forgive them for all kinds of transgressions. But I like to tell people "Love is blind. Not stupid!" Some people think that because you love them, you'll let them do anything to you and you will erase it as if it never happened. A person with an attitude and behavior like that is dangerous! That means they don't care what kind of hurt and pain they cause you. You can forgive this person. But you need steer your way clear of this person too!
