A Venture out on Love

As you probably have guessed, I am a hardcore romantic. But more than anything, I just have this fascination with the stories of those couples who meet. How did they meet? What made them fall in love and stay in love with each other? What are their favorite things about each other? If I could do photography, I would love to be a wedding photographer because then you can document that wonderful journey of the couple. I honestly don't believe it's a fairytale to think that true love still exists, among both young and older couples. Yes, I myself get scared at times about the possibility of being in love now days. Divorce is so high, and the commitment factor in many couples today are astoundingly low - it's frightening. But you know what? I don't want to be apart of that statistic. I want to be among the (hopefully) many that can show the world that love is for real. It takes work - hard work at times - maybe you might want to pull out your hair at the end of the day - but it's a love that sustains - and a love that knows you like no other... Isn't that such an INCREDIBLE thing to know someone that intimately!? I can say proudly that my grandparents on both sides of my family will be celebrating their 40th AND 50th anniversary this year, and they are still crazy in love with each other. I want that. Love is a beautiful thing.

    Does TRUE Love really exist? That is the question. Actually the real question is,"Can Marriage between a man and woman live united without hypocracy?" True love does exist. God is love and there is no deception in Him. He is everywhere and 1Jo 4:8 says," He who does not love does not know God, for God is love."

    Hey, I can totally relate to this post even though I am a guy. My parents just celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary this past monday and everyone else I know is either cheating or going through a divorce. I take pride in knowing true love does exist even though this generation is anything but mature enough to handle a true courtship. My parents always taught me to be respectful of women and that committed relationships are the only paths to take. What I find funny is the area I am in, its the WOMEN that want the one night stands and wishy washy dating. Perhaps its a problem on both ends? I browse the 'missed connections' section on craigslist all the time because as pathetic as it is, thats the spot that I see a lil romanticism nowadays in society. Nice blog you have here. Oh and good luck with your top 10 list....i rode the Zipper when I was 6 years old and I still have nightmares :P

    i love what you say in the post. it's beautiful. i think i know that levi (my bf) is my true love because of the effort we both put into our relationship. we work SO hard to take care of our relationship and each other. love is really hard. it takes a lot of practice to be good at. but it's the most rewarding work i have ever done.

    (p.s. i hope you got my response to your comment this morning in your email)
