The environment shapes humanity. Something is always influencing us. Our upbringing has an impact on how we love. However, if the upbringing is dysfunctional, the person's character will be flawed. To some extent, we are all flawed. That is why we must learn true love from God, the source of genuine love. Only God can teach pure, genuine love to humanity. He loves unconditionally, and if you want meaningful, long-term relationships, have a personal, intimate relationship with God and learn how to love from Him. Date God first before dating a person. Dating God means getting to know Him, discovering who He is and also knowing yourself through Him.
