"Falling in Love" is a truly accurate description for the out of control journey that we make when experiencing this emotion.<BR/><BR/>2. Men are genetically pre-disposed to confusion. I think that it has something to do with the "Y" chromosome.Timothy W Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118861693269565715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041089218060371051.post-38195617025435812032007-11-08T05:16:00.000-05:002007-11-08T05:16:00.000-05:00I join you in the confusion..lol.

I think falling in love is the easy part, it's the "relationship" end that can get tough. <BR/><BR/>One thing I've noticed is that the evolution of individuals means the same for couples. People may not change, but nearly everything about them often does. As we grow, learn, live, laugh, cry and stumble through, it changes our actions and mindset some. <BR/><BR/>It's easy to love someone during easy times, times of prosperity and for the initial period of of the relationship. It's when you get into it a while, challenges come along, and life happens, where you learn what the depth of that love really is. <BR/><BR/>Love is a many splendored thing, even the Bible says much on love, "patient, kind, forgiving...etc. But nobody ever said love is easy, not even God.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06994015303281337316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041089218060371051.post-51825972367028909322007-11-07T14:07:00.000-05:002007-11-07T14:07:00.000-05:00Oh sure Maggie, rub it in.

Since that time, I've just enjoyed it - relishing in the fact that the one I love more than anything feels the same way about me.<BR/><BR/>Additionally, we entered this with little expectation other than being together for the rest of our lives, making all the goods and bads that came along something to live through together.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps that's why we've been happily married for 16-1/2 years now...???Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677808307727487766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041089218060371051.post-22179091449785216992007-11-07T11:46:00.000-05:002007-11-07T11:46:00.000-05:00Thanks Lisa.

This could mean that I can end the analysis paralysis going on in my life and move on. <BR/><BR/>What a relief!

To get to analytical about it seems to make those feelings diminish. One of my favorite quotes on love:<BR/><BR/>There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness. <BR/><BR/>Friedrich Nietzsche<BR/><BR/>:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
