What is love and does it last?

True love is an act of the Will. When you love someone, it can start as pure emotion, but then that fades eventually. When the going gets tough, true love sticks around, not because they feel passion or butterflies, but because they decide to love this person. Think of Christopher Reeve. He played Superman, he was strong and handsome. When he became paralyzed, his wife showed she truly love him. Although at first I am sure she felt floaty and twitterpated over him, it was when the going got tough, that her act of Will to stay with him and care for him even though it was probably very hard, showed her love. Love, once it is past emotions, because very strong and last forever.

whoa.....

you asked a lot of questions.....

Yes, Love is real.

do you know how when you get a rubber band and you stretch it.... and you release it......... the two parts of the band that were the furthest apart come snapping together?????

that is attraction.

you are one side of the rubber band and your husband is the other. Between the two of you a lot can happen - with or without your participation.

People cheat, lovers cheat, husbands and wives cheat. If the marriage was built on love at all, then the cheaters cheat themselves before they cheat their spouses.

Cheater's still love those they have neglected - they just don't love themselves. If your lover cheated on you, I'm sorry..... There is not much you can do until the cheater ..................welll...............until he or she makes you believe he/she will stop. Good luck.

BUT, without all the cheating, LOVE IS REAL. AND IS A GREAT WAY TO LIVE!

Real love is real and yes it does last. Real love is loving someone else more than you do yourself. If you are in love you should ask yourself if you could still love that person if they get sick, have a wrick and lose an arm or leg, become disfigured or mamed on some way. Does your relationship consist of more than sex? If something happen and you couldn't have sex with your mate would you still have any reason to stay together? Do you talk and share interest?

Marriage needs passion, unbridled and wild. Did you ever know a couple who were wild, crazy and madly in love? Being in love is very real and very delicate requiring daily tending and tender moments of soft persuasion always recalling that first occasion of bliss.

The longevity and reality of love is an existential question that I would only discuss over dinner at a fancy restaurant.

Love is an emotion that you feel for someone that never leaves you, if it is real.

You can love things and they do come and go. When it is real, it affects everything you do.

When people cheat, I think it is lust not love. It is hard to accept the person who cheated because trust is broken and you do not want that person around you.

When love happens you want more and love adds to other attributes in that person.

Think of love as a verb.
