64th Live Stream with Carlton & Gina Pearson - Falling in Love

Why is love often such a painful emotion, especially for women? Or is it?

Falling in love is giving someone the power to break your heart and almost destroy you while trusting they won't.

Americans' abuse of prescription painkillers has reached epidemic proportions, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC estimates that 15,000 people die every year in this country from overdoses involving opioid or narcotic pain relievers.

While men are more likely to die from painkiller abuse, the number of deaths among women was up 400 percent between 1999 and 2010. "More women are dying at rates that we have never seen before," said CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden. "Stopping this epidemic in women — and men — is everyone's business."

Love is precious, painful, pathetic, powerful and sometimes completely debilitating, whether Agape (God's love), phileo (friendship) or erotic (romantic). We still love love or perhaps have a love/hate relationship with it. Amazing eh?
