Head vs. Heart

It's a battle, as well as an un-answered question, that's probably existed since the dawn of time....should you listen to your head or your heart?

Some married people say that it takes more than love to make a marriage work and that you need to use your head to think about whether or not the person you may decide to spend your life with can actually provide the type of life that you want. But, with the prevalence of divorce being what it is, I'm not so sure married people can give sound advice. Too often, I've admired a seemingly happy married couple only to learn they later got divorced.

Putting input from other people aside, I recently took a step back to ponder the question. Here is where I landed. If matters of love aren't the correct circumstances in which to trust your heart, then what circumstances WOULD more appropriately call for a "heart" decision? I'm not saying throw all logic and judgement out the window, but if it's a close call between your head and your heart, maybe tip the scales in favor of your heart in matters of love.

Take away lesson: Take logic into consideration, but don't ignore your heart.
