LOVE!!!

Love is an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment. In philosophical context, love is a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection. Love is central to many religions, as in the Christian phrase, "God is love" or Agape in the Canonical gospels. Love may also be described as actions towards others (or oneself) based on compassion. Or as actions towards others based on affection.
In English, the word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my partner"). "Love" can also refer specifically to the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love, to the sexual love of eros (cf. Greek words for love), to the emotional closeness of familial love, or to the platonic love that defines friendship,to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love. This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.

NEVER GIVE UP HOPE

Hope is the last things that should loose. Without hope there really is no future. Some may say is unrealistic but in my eyes those who say that have a dark soul and bitterness of some sort that doesn't let them be happy.

I can only say this because I thought my perfect marriage was lost. So I decided to let it go and move on with my life. I never lost hope. I wondered where we had gone wrong...and just like a novel or movie we had the enemy next to us. A FAMILY member...telling me how awful my husband to be was for me. And on the other hand telling him how awful his future was going to be next to me.

But since we never lost hope we looked deep inside ourselves and realised that love was stronger than any harm or envy that surrounded us.

So here we are today, together, married and in love. We never lost hope...hope you don't either and don't let anyone influence your decisions.

Always Respect One Another Part 2

When children are young we often remind them the concept of good manners. Like saying Thank You and Please when asking for something...Like Water or even food. Simple words and gestures that demonstrate politeness along with helping them have a harmonious dialog and interaction with others.
Couples, sometimes need to be reminded of these simple routines that show the same consideration from the first date on to the rest of your life.
This turns out to be so romantic to couples because it only means you are always in your best behaviour, treating each other with decency and respect. Every action, gesture, and words indicate that they value, love and appreciate each other.
Practicing these behaviours require thought process and effort, but its interesting to know and understand that good manners don't come with naturally, they must be learned and practiced.
Children think of them first before acting because they are constantly reminded. Us Adults, tend to forget the basic rules and tend to incline ourselves to the other direction.
As humans we tent t5o sometimes indulge in selfish, disrespectful, and immature behaviour, that only lead to hurting your partners feelings, and the other's resentment.
No one likes to be treated rudely, or taken for granted. Therefore, show your partner DAILY a small token of esteem, recognition, and why not regard them with flowers, chocolate, a nice gesture.

Ayn Rand: Respect QuotesIf one doesn't respect oneself one can have neither love nor respect for others.

Once we learn the meaning of respect...only then can we provide it to ourselves and others.

You Only Get out of your relationship what you put into it.

Imagine you are an entrepreneur, with a very unique idea. You carefully think your plan through, calculate your monies needed and expenses to generate your dream. You meet with consultants, lenders, accountants. You work hard to sell your idea to banks and investors. With time, you find a location for your business, obtain equipment needed, and all essentials to succeed. Finally you are ready to begin, so you pour yourself into your business and you determine you will make it all a success. 
But instead of sitting back, you work at it. Day and night, like a flower that needs water and sun and food to grow. You work harder than ever while coming up with ideas to make it better, more efficient while you end up rejoicing in the profits of your hard work.
If your relationship is to last a lifetime, it needs the same amount of devotion and energy. Each person must give 100%
That means, really to listen: even if you don't like what the other has to say; ready to talk things through; available when needed, even if its only for a hug or kiss; ready to act...for good or bad.
Both partners must pour their every breath into making this business called LOVE work.

The First Dates...Words from Wifes with a 50 Year+ Marriage

To make a relationship last, one must have a set mind of a man or woman before even looking for one.
Ask yourselfs, what are you looking for? ...Set 5 likes, and 2 defenite dislikes.

On your first date: Ask related questions. Look for all you like and see if you can be ok with the dislikes.

Chemistry, Body Language, those are all must...At first...But lets remember, this also dies with time. Looks are not everything in a person, nor is age.

Tip:
A person who lies...may always lie...But you will not change them since only they can reach within and change themselves.
Remember, you can only get out of your relationship what you put into it.
