Arranged Love= Archering in Dark

Respect, caring, trust, loyalty and Honesty. When these all meet up, you have a feeling called love. A something that you will never be able to describe. |

1) i knew she was the one when i heard, in my head, a line from WAYNES WORLD - "she will be mine, oh yes, she will be mine!!"
2) love is that thing that makes you selfless and happy...
3) over time, love becomes something more... something deeper... respect, understanding, compromise... |

I don't believe that there is only "one" person out there for everyone. Because what are the chances of you meeting that person in a world with billions of people. I think that humans are very adaptable and can choose different types of love. I don't think love is just a feeling, and real love doesn't happen instantly. Love for family, friends, and spouses are all different. By meeting different types of people, you can decide what characteristics you like and dislike. Therefore defining the love you will feel for them.
After being heart broken by my first husband, before I was ready to date again, I made a list of things I wanted and didn't want in a significant other. And I promised myself I wouldn't settle for less. When I met my current husband, he fulfilled all my wants and needs on my list and my love for him was created from that. I love him very much and am happy to spend the rest of my life with him, but I will say that if before I met him, if I would have moved 3 states in some direction, I bet I could have found someone to fall in love with there, who would've met my expectations also. Who knows, but I'll never want to find out. |

One of the most popular questions on the board. The Definition of love is different for everyone. There is no sat in stone rules. If this person makes you happy, treats you with respect and cares about your feelings then your on the right track. One question to ask yourself. Do you see yourself being happy with this person for the rest of your life. |

Met my wife at a bus stop, left after 5 months of knowing her because
of my job, then 5yrs later, met up again with her and that was when I
knew we were for each other, and now happily married over 22yrs. The
love is there because we are committed to each other, support one
another, talk to one another, be with each other in our ups and downs,
and wake up and go to sleep with each other by our sides. So our
love is described by our actions towards each other and that is what
has kept our marriage happy and solid, as both of us has made the
commitment. |

I was fresh out of a divorce when I got together with my 2nd husband....who was actually my first love once upon a time. Actually I got seperated, then had a long time relationship with someone else...then LEFT the new relationship to be single whilst I tried to sort myself out.
I was dead against marriage again, and the guy from the long term relationship after was perfect and wonderful to me...but when my former first love came back into my life I got all muddled up. So in the space of 8 months I had my first love, my ex-husband and the new 'Mr Right' struggling over winning me back. It was awful. I didn't sleep-I didn't think...I just cried.
So I stayed single for 3 months. I dated others, and let Mr First and Mr Right take me out occassionally too. I put myself first, concentrated on my life and eventually...got enough distance to see clearly.
When the skies cleared I realized that Mr First had always been Mr Only. No matter how many years had passed, or how many 'Mr Rights' came along to sweep me off my feet-that my ninth grade boyfriend was the one for me. He waited. He gave me the space but always let me know that he'd never let 'us' go. We moved in together after one day, got married a year later and are now expecting our first child together.
I realized eventually that when you are a complete person-who knows EXACTLY what you want from life, only then can you decide who to share it with. I didn't want someone to fill a hole of loneliness-I wanted someone to share my happiness with. |

For me it was finding someone who accept me for me. Not wanting to change me. Who will be there no matter what. We have a big age diff, but it doesnt matter. We still cant stand to be apart form each other. If your every waking mintue is about him or her... I know that is love |

I knew I loved my husband when we were dating in high school. It took me losing him to realize exactly how much I loved him. Honestly, if it weren't for our daughter, I don't think that I could go on living if something were to happen to him. I don't know why, but I just knew that he was the one that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. We just kind of fit together, like two puzzle pieces. After six and a half years of marriage, I would have to say that I love him more today then I did when I said "I do". |

Once you both know each other,
If there is a need to be away for few days or months, but if you can't do that and you lost yourself because of that, You can't work, you can't read, you can't do anything else.. these are the symptoms of love..
No, you both know each other, but her/his absence doesn't bring any effect on you means she/he is not the one you loved/loving..
it is not only with a spouse, sometimes it happens with moms, dads, siblings as well. cause you love them too.. you can't stay away from your mom etc., etc., |

lol love is: being able to tell your spouse where to go and how to get there and know he knows that you don't mean it
14 year together, 6years married and we have an 11 year old son
we have the same fights over and over, no one ever wins those ones
money is the most stress in a relationship
we met in high school and I told him that I wanted to be a hairstylist, and he said "oh are you going to give me and my family free hair cuts then"?
in my head I thought of course I am going to cut my husband and children's hair, but I may not be able to cut my own! |
