Here's a thread thats likely to go nowhere

There are some of us who still view and intend the word "love" with a heavy meaning. Despite all of my other flexibilities and shades of gray, I do. If I tell someone I love them, that is a thing of gravity. And I don't particularly like to be in relationships with people who don't feel the same.

Lets talk of love between a man and a women. A man generally believes he loves his bride when he marries her and a women generally believes the same about her new husband but I don't believe this. What I believe is that a woman is seeking security of sorts and a man is looking for completion (filling that hole in the gut). I believe that emotional love (not true love )carries a married couple in the beginning. this emotion that brought them together is the same emotion that tears them asunder after a time. At this point true love is either found or the marriage ends.

JMS i think you have a words of wisdom here. For most of people, so called true love takes time before it comes. Of course there are people who say that they found a love in first sight, but i have no experience in such feeling.
Me and my lady lived together about 10+ years before getting married, so marriage was not a big thing for both of us.

I love my straight razors!

I love my straight razors!

But is it TRUE love?

[Seraphim]

But is it TRUE love?

Yes.

Even though one of those lively little devils cut me last night, all is forgiven!

[ShavedZombie]

Yes.

Everyone has their little spats and arguments... I hope you didn't try to hit back.. They usually win that one. Sharp edges and whatnot

I love how that statement applies to both women AND razors.. That's the first time I've found something in common!

I can remember asking my mum what love is? She told me all I had to do was ask myself one question " would I be willing to lay down my life for that person" if the answer is yes it,s love, if no it,s like. I know it is probarbly a bit simplistic but it has worked for me.

Your thread has promted me after 30 years of marriage to ask myself the question again and for my wife,children (still no grandchildren yet) and a few very close friends the answer is still a very big YES!

Thats crazy my mom gave me that same exact explanation, i think thats like a moms go to answer ( although i cant think of a better/well put explanation)

love is something best left alone by beginners(it can get expensive)

When does it get cheaper?

[59caddy]

When does it get cheaper?

after much thought and years of waiting, i still can answer that...
just look what it costs some of the superstars of today(of course i wonder if they really knew what love really is before they said "i do")

This sounds more like fools and their money. Not to go off topic, but, Most of these people have far too much time and money on their hands coupled with an environment that promotes fantasy rather than reality.
