3 Love Lessons From The Laysan Albatross
Many have singled out the dove as a symbol of love because Greek mythology associated it with the goddess of love. However, many birds, including but not limited to the Laysan Albatross, understand and play the game of love far better than the dove. This article reveals some love lessons from the Laysan Albatross.

What is Laysan Albatross
Laysan Albatrosses are large white seabirds with vast wings, mainly found in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. They only breed when they are eight or nine by laying one egg in one year.
What’s truly remarkable about the Laysan Albatross is their unwavering commitment to their mate. Once they’ve found their partner, they remain faithful ’till death do us part’, regardless of any changes in appearance or behaviour.
Laysan Albatrosses solidify their love for their mate through ritual dancing once a year. If their mate dies, they mourn for two years before finding another love.
The Love Lessons
- The Laysan Albatrosses serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of loyalty in our romantic relationships. Just as these birds reserve their love for their mate, we should be steadfast in our commitment to our partner and resist the allure of romantic entanglements with others.
- Like the Laysan Albatross, we should love our spouse, regardless of physical or behavioural changes in our spouse.
- Our love and relationship with our spouse should be permanent unless, of course, death separates us.
Romans 7:2, which states that only death can free a lady from the law of her husband, confirms that the love life of the Laysan Albatross is scriptural and worthy of emulation. Love is sweet but very bitter when betrayed. Nevertheless, practising love “till death do us part” will prevent love betrayal and enable us to enjoy love to the fullest.
