Love from the world is not love at all, but is really a selfish, lustful love. Man can not love at all except the he knows the love of God that cares enough about someone else that he would die for them even if they are his enemies. The love the world has to offer is all about what can be done to benefit me, but true love that comes from God thinks about the good of the other person. This works in social relationships as well as the relationship with your spouse.
Love from the world is also jealous, causing people to swell in envy and producing anger, bitterness, and then hate and then ultimately murder when is felt like the rights of the individual have been infringed upon. Mankind will only love someone else if they feel they can get something out of the relationship unless they know and feel the love of God in their hearts.
John 3:19
