I was surfing the net, and I came across a young man who asked this question, "What is love anyway?"

This is my reply....

Whether you are married or not...

Love is when he/she walks into the room, and your heart still races when they walk past you.

It‘s when... it‘s 10 minutes before they walk in the door from a long days work and, your heart begins to race 15 minutes past the hour, as your mind races with thoughts that something might have happened to them.

When they have a question, and they ask you, and wait for your reply no matter how long it is, because they sincerely value your opinion.

When it‘s late at night, and you‘re both fast asleep, and their body slightly touches yours, and instinctively, while still half asleep, you both make the most passionate love you have had in months.  The next morning, you both wonder if it was just a dream, yet....you both had the same dream!  :)

You make plans for a family outing, and they are anxious to be there.

You call them every morning, just to let them know you made it to work ok.

You ask them what they want to watch for TV that night, before you make plans on what you want to watch.  The same goes for movies, dinner, etc.

One single rose given to her for absolutely no reason, makes her cry.

You go out of your way making silly jokes that are not funny, just to make her laugh because she‘s not feeling well that day.

After what you considered to be a horrible verbal fight, you suddenly forget all about it and have the most passionate love you have had in months,  and you‘re both laughing and smiling the next day.

You make love, and it‘s more than physical....you feel a connection....a feeling that your life is utterly complete.

When a very attractive person flirts with you, and you smile at them, but have no desire to flirt back, because you truly feel your heart belongs to another.

And that‘s what love is, it‘s not about children, or even religion, and it does'nt matter if you have been married a year and a half, or 55 years.

Children grow up and lead their own lives, with their own loved ones, you love them and guide them the best that you can, then simply hope and pray they will be ok.

If you are truly religious, you put God, before anyone else in your life, and by doing this...everything simply falls into place.

It‘s incredibly easy for one person to get used to another, and "use" them simply because they got used to having things done for them.  You do things for someone because you love them, not because it‘s a job, or your duty, or your obligation.

I have been married 25 years, the first 15 were incredible, five years later, I guess we both changed as our flame began to dwindle.  Five years after that....The flame has completely died out.

I do believe in "forever"  But sometimes people just change.  :(
