To love is a duty, to be loved is an achievement , to be with the one you love is success and to be with the one that loves you back is life. Love is found in Jesus Christ

To be with the one you love is success only if propinquity is your life's primary objective.

Not sure if that is my primary objective, but since I don't even know what the word propinquity means I will say that the answer is no. My primary objective is to humbly serve the Lord with love in my heart. Often, I fall at this as well put that seems to be par for the course. Probably serendipity is closer to the truth.

Alright Lynx, quit using those left field words. I had to look up propinquity:

pro·pin·qui·ty prəˈpiNGkwədē
noun
noun propinquity
  1. the state of being close to someone or something; proximity.
    proximity closeness nearness adjacency contiguity contiguousness vicinity vicinage
  2. close kinship.
    close kinship close relationship family connection blood ties consanguinity

I agree that closeness is not always available where love is concerned. Sometimes you must let what you love, go from you. Like when your children grow up or a mate that wants free.

Of course, love is a duty to Christians. It is not always easy either. Jesus says love your neighbor, then the devil himself moves in next door. Hahaha... :devilish:
