What is true love?

Love and Love - what is love - Where the pillar of true love stands?

• This is story of two Lovers, who finally got married, The girl was very sentimental and the guy was romantic, but on the walk of life, problems, clashes, profession came into their life. She yearn for romantic moments, time makes her husband different; his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic moments into their marriage has disheartened her about LOVE. One day, she finally decided that "I wanted a divorce". "Why?" he asked. "I am tired." she answered. He kept silent the whole night, seemingly in deep thought. Finally he asked "What can I do to change your mind?" Looking into his eyes she said "Answer my question. If you can convince my heart, I will change my mind. Let's say, I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff, we both are sure that picking the flower will cause your death. Will you do it for me?" He said: " I will give you your answer tomorrow...." She woke up the morning, find him gone, and saw a piece of paper on my bed, which goes.... My dear, "I would not pick that flower for you, the reasons are..... When you use the computer you always mess up the Software, and you cry in front of the screen. I have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs. You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you. You love traveling but always lose your way in a new city. I have to save my eyes to show you the way. You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom. You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes. I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails and help to remove those annoying white hairs. So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful sand...and tell you the colour of flowers, just like the colour of the glow on your young face... Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do... I could not pick that flower yet, and die ... " Her tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his handwriting... And as she continue on reading... "Now, that you have finished reading my answer, and if you are satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favorite bread and fresh milk... She rushed to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread....Now she is very sure that no one will ever love her as much as he does, and she have decided to leave the flower alone... That's LIFE, and LOVE. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness. Love shows up in all forms; even in very small and cheeky forms. It has never been a model. It could be the dullest and most boring form... Flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface of the relationship. Under all this, the pillar of true love stands.

  Wow...that was beautiful and so true. It's crazy how when you're surrounded by love it is so difficult to see it. If someone would have posted this 2 years ago it may have saved my marriage. When I was married, I forgot about all the little things he did for me, because once we had children and bills and real life responsibilities, it choked the relationship...I was always focused on what we needed and he didn't seem to be. Making my responsibilities heavier. But what I didn't see was that how the little things he did recharged me and made it possible for me to carry the weight of our family. ie fixing dinner and cleaning the house, taking the kids where they needed to go, rubbing my back and my feet when I was tired, etc. Sometimes, I think it is good to take a break when your married to miss the special ways your spouse loves you, the ways you tend to overlook when life gets in the way. Thanks for this post it touched my heart.
