Love to me means two people who have been together for 50 years and still look into each other's eyes as if it was their first date. Love means being able to sit in companiable silence without a hint of boredom, love means being able to finish each others thoughts and sentences. To be thinking the same thing at the same time, you're so in tune to each other. Above all, love means trust, that you can put your life into this person's hands and his into yours, and know you will both be safe. Nothing gets through me to you and vice versa.
Wow Punkin, you should write romance novels. This is simply beautiful.
But it is also a load of crap. It would be wonderful if people really really had that kind of relationships.
I agree. This is the injustice done by fairytales and Hollywood. I've met/known my fair share of "happily" married couples celebrating well over the 30 or so year mark ... and when you start asking questions you find out that love is not about mind reading and perfection. It's about forgiveness, patience, support, quality time, commitment and respect, to name but a few. It's about being happy instead of being right and having each others backs. Among other things.

Holding onto anger to punish someone else, is like lighting yourself on fire to get smoke in their eyes ~ 25yearsmlc
