We can go on and on about this subject and we can debate on the good and the not so good and tell stories of success and failure and we can talk on what is the right way and the wrong to love someone:

"Before me and my wife got married we sat down and talk and both agree we are not getting married to get divorce so if this not a life time commitment we should not get married to hurt later so if we are not ready let us don't do it."
I've done that twice, but the first time didn't work out so well... the first time she told me she was leaving (not very long after we got married) I told her the door isn't locked on the inside... that I think stopped her from saying it more frequently, but didn't stop it entirely. When things got really rough (I confessed my infidelity) she was gone, and I mean moved out and gone on her way to another state, in four hours. I may not fault her for leaving, but gone in four hours? This time, I believe my wife is fully committed (and so am I, yes it takes two).
"To many people get married with the wrong understanding and don't think or plan about it past the honeymoon and where the real work of being married begin."
I don't think either one of us did, not to mention being "unequally yoked," which I wish I had known about, but I didn't know my bible very well then either.
"Loving yourself does not includes selfishness for the bible openly said love makes sacrifices."
I can tell you from my own experiences that I loved myself plenty, and it did include lots of selfishness. As my ex wife was packing her belongings, God showed me who I was... selfish, self-centered and self-focused. I held my head in my hands and asked how I could have failed so miserably, when just a few months earlier I proclaimed loudly to a group of friends that I would never cheat on my wife like so-and-so did... and I was so proud and so sure.
Thankfully, after God showed me who I was, he showed me who He is.
"JUST A POINT OF VIEW: NOTHING PERSONAL:"
Agreed, same here... just telling my story.

I am glad you posted for I was looking for our last exchange and want to continue on this subject: Thankyou.
Now I agree with you except on this statment:
(Someone may say "I love that women" but then if she isn't fulfilling his need then he may change his mind? selfish or not......?
And I said Yes it is selfishness and here why, Before me and my wife got married we sat down and talk and both agree we are not getting married to get divorce so if this not a life time commitment we should not get married to hurt later so if we are not ready let us don't do it.
To many people get married with the wrong understanding and don't think or plan about it past the honeymoon and where the real work of being married begin.
Learning how to be forgiving and learning how to agree with each other, learning to let the other have their way when you know you are right, just because it make them happy and not saying I told you so when things or their ideas fail, talking to each other and not at each other, (JUST TO NAME A FEW) Loving yourself does not includes selfishness for the bible openly said love makes sacrifices.

"Well Love is not selfish and pride is close to that:"
The word "love" is used in many ways, and not all of them are unselfish I believe. Someone may say "I love that woman" but then if she isn't fulfilling "his needs" then he may change his mind. Selfish or no?
"And 1 Corinthians chp 13 and Colossians chp 3 1-17 (KJV) tell us what love is and is not and its behaviors."
I think the NIV also contains those excellent verses: ;)
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails...."
Read at my wedding, and probably yours as well. This is a charge to love others, and how to do so, is it not? Personally, I don't see how it might apply to loving oneself.

Elder Walker,
Does pride not have its roots in self love?

8-mile:
Please allow me to offer a better understanding on Daniel Chp 4. It is not about a man loving himself but it more about his pride, and resting on their glory, majesty and power by their own strenght and understanding as King Nebuchanezzar did.
Who did not concede it was God that gave him the glory, majesty and power over all the kingdoms on the earth: and it was said by prophecy as judgment by God on Israel in Jeremiah Chp 27 and for does it not said in verse 6 Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon my servant......
So in Daniel Chp 4 God just remind King Nebuchadnezzar, Who gave him all his glory, majesty and power over all the kingdoms on the earth.
If we put those two chapters together we should come to that understanding:
Thank You:

---- Did you read the post about from Mark below what does it say? 'Love your neighbor as yourself. Is it not implied you love yourself from this sentence? ----
I'm hardly a scholar of Scripture, Mav, but that, of course, is exactly the passage that must come to everyone's mind, mine included (when I'm not out).
I gotta believe our 8 mile friend knew that and was jest havin' funnin' with us.

Deacon,
Did you read the post about from Mark below what does it say? 'Love your neighbor as yourself. Is it not implied you love yourself from this sentence? You are getting hung up on loving yourself, you don't stand there in one spot loving on yourself.
love yourself verse
Mr. Mav,
I'm probably a little slow. Could you show me a verse that commands or directs us to love ourselves.
(The fourth chapter of Daniel tells us about a man that loved himself.)
