It is not the co-dependent need for another. It is not the expectation of someone else to fulfill your life. It is not the discovery of 'your other half,' to complete you.
The foundation of lasting love begins with each person holding onto Their Own Gold. It is staying true to yourself and letting the other person be true to themselves, as well. You are a whole and complete individual without anyone or anything else! True love does not control, manipulate, envy or possess another. True love provides a warm, safe environment for each person to learn and grow in their life. True love is not an emotion, rather it is the gift of a sactuary for the Light of God to live within.
So, on that note, the quote of the day is:
"Love can anchor us to a specific space and time or transcend us into eternity." tc
I read somewhere years ago that when a couple marry each other and profess they are "in love" with each other that they don't really mean it as they don't really know it yet. You can love someone, or lots of people, in many different ways. I don't think you can be "in love" with anyone until you have been together for a LONG period of time. You then know their good/bad/positive/annoying/etc ways/habits/behaviors and you adapt with them. Then you can differenciate between loving and being in love. just my two cents worth.
