So tell me why would you get married based just on something that doesn’t last always and needs constant refueling, if its not to collapse after the honeymoon period, when life can get in the way? Meaning work or jobs, family and friends, interest and hobbies, children or the want to create them. These are the things that are the real cornerstones of marriages……i.e answers to the hard questions.
The way I see it, marriage is about building a life with someone not just experiencing a moment or the rush of being in love and that’s what being in love is about, moments.
Think about it. If you’ve ever been in love and felt that burning desire to confess “I’m in love with you” or “I love you”….. was it not based on a moment? Something they said, something they did, something you remembered? Or envisioned? You know…the intense or overwhelming feeling in that moment where you just have to say it?
Then there’s the fact that being in love is all about taking. What you want in order to stay that high, what you need to satisfy you emotionally, what you feel, what you think.
Whereas love is about giving . Making you smile and laugh out loud to a shared joke or memory, wanting to give more than you’ve ever had, learning the power of compromise and using it and understanding that if they were perfect, they wouldn’t be the person you love.
Needs to be posted often…people need a reminder.
Thanks.
