 Graphic From Annes Place ~0~ We hear a lot of couples saying as on their path of life I truly love my husband or I really love my wife As I was pondering the thought about this miracle called love This meeting of the hearts that so many speak of I wondered what the difference is in lives where the couples marriage succeeds How can love be kept alive so separate lives they never lead Part of the difference I see between the lives of the two Is the lasting ones seem to stay IN LOVE treating their love as if it were new Taking care each day their love to ever show Making sure of it the other never doubts and in their heart always know Putting each other first before their own desires Keeping alive the passion of their loves burning fires So from past mistakes we have learned for our love to stay alive We should love each other without reservation and for to stay IN LOVE to strive ~0~ [This message has been edited by garysgirl (07-03-2003 09:09 AM).] |

"Putting each other first before their own desires" THIS is true love! If we learn to do this, our love will never fail... Excellent poem, Ethel. “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |

Lovely writting, I think it is different to love or be in love, both are great though Julie "Dont cry because its over, smile because it happened. " |

"So from past mistakes we have learned for our love to stay alive We should love each other without reservation and for to stay IN LOVE to strive" so ture, so true...if only more people around me knew this as well... "in a past life i was a woodcarver's knife: the sharpend blade of a wood cutter, the eldest son of the chief's brother: a maker of drums" |

Enjoyed your thoughts on love...in many relationships it seems like only one of the party is doing most of the work...love is something that should be shared equally...these are the relationships that prosper...James |

of course there is a major difference, after many years, complacency may set in and the love of a spouse is more like caring like you love your father or brother but to be IN LOVE is a whole other ballgame thats the trick |

anyone can love,, "but it takes "TWO" to be "IN LOVE" A voice of honesty is treasured more than voices of flattery QjQ [This message has been edited by QjQ (07-03-2003 07:30 PM).] |

great writing... now, if I could only figure out HOW to stay in love, I'd be doing great heheIt is said the Creator has taken a handful of South Wind and given each newborn Arabian the power of flight without wings |

 (smiles) Oh Ethel, that is just how I want to love my dream girl when I find her, I want to pretend each day is like the day I first fell in love and make her think "Hey, the spark has never subsided and I know he still loves me with all his heart, yay!" (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, I know you and Gary are truly IN LOVE, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

Exactly! But it is really difficult when it only comes from one side of the equation. I am happy for you that: Ethel + Gary = Eternal Love  EA |
