I have had a pretty good day. Why?
THREE DAY WEEKEND!!
*cheers*
Well, I have already decided today's rant: Love.
Thinks of the Impressive Cleregyman from Princess Bride: "Wove, twoo wove"
Well my idea about romantic love and marriage (since I have decided against both) is this:
Love is not some magical special thing. It is an emotion and a commitment between two people. When two people marry, the sanctity of marriage should be kept holy. Even if the orginal glitter of married life rubs off I think that "true love" comes from a strong and lasting relationship.
If you get bored, nervous, unhappy, discontent: stick with it and love will come. Love forms between two people who have come to respect and admire each other after years of marriage.
A good marital realtionship should not be judged by physical love, but emtional commitment.
When "until death do us part" is sworn, keep the vow, and stay with you spouse! Love will come if both partners are willing to try and wait!
A good realationship should not be based on : if we get bored we can always break up and I can find another guy/girl. NO.
It should be: I love and respect this person, and I know this person will take good care of me and love me.
(Exceptions: abuse, and repeated cheating . . . I think an honest apology is always worth accepting, but an excuse and unrepentent cheater is worth divorcing.)
Pick a partner wisely and forever!
Case against a live-in trail for marriage:
You are not actaully bound for life, and I don't think you learn anything specail from it.
I have never heard of "co-habition" helping a relatioship
If you are going to marry, marry. If not, I don't think that getting intamite will be as fullfilling when your break-up
I strongly believe in abstanince (including oral . . . stuff), because why would you want that for anyone but your life partner? Keep that one special thing for them, and I couldn't hurt anything. Why rush it? Sex is just a physical feeling, and unless you have deep emotions for someone if will be hollow (I have heard this from several reliable sources).
Love is only love. It is diffrent with diffrent people (mother, father uncle, grandparent), but it remains the same.
It may not be the answer to life,
but that is today's rant=)
