.... of staying in LOVE



LOVE is another 4-lettered word which has misled, confused, complicated, motivated, built and destroyed, in fact you can substitute any verb you can think of.

Some say it is blind. Others say they are drawn into it. Still many claim to have fallen into it. Many more have fallen out of it. Some say it happens at first sight. Some could not sleep, others could not eat because of it. Of course, almost all agree that they got married because of it. FALLING IN LOVE IS EASY, BUT STAYING IN LOVE IS SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL.

Yours Sincerely ( Y S ) attended the 45th Wedding Anniversary of a friend. 45 years is a huge amount of time devoted to ONE person and vice versa. What keep them going on ? What is the recipe of a long, fruitful and joyful marriage? What keeps the luster or radiance in a marriage when there are mountains of files in the divorce courts?

The secret, if it is a secret at all, is to keep falling in love again and again .............................

with the same woman or man !!!

Many have failed in their matrimony for the simple fact that they want a perfect wife or husband without realizing that being the right person is even more important.

Love at first sight is easy to understand. It is when two people have been looking at each other for nearly a lifetime that it becomes a miracle ! The middle and end years of marriage are even more critical. In the early years, spouses want each other and in the late years, they need each other. "Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without. " James C. Dobson.

Y S' favourite writer, Agatha Christie, once said that an archeologist is the best husband any woman can have. The older she is, the more he is interested in her ! LOL

Good one... staying in love in today's world is a challenge. Ours is a society of pakai and buang, falling in and out of love sort of fit into that mould. 8(

AJ7, as u have said b4, the sharing of interest, "ambil tahu," "tahu menahu" n "sama-sama tahu' is all important or else the relationship becomes " tauhu." lor...LOL
