Love...

I am listening to some awesome 80s and 90s country and these lyrics came up...

Love is the rythym of two hearts beating, pounding out a message steady and true, I know what love is what's it to you?

I think that is a beautiful definition but I was wondering what GPMs think. What is love to you? And how does it fit into a marriage and family?

Also, p&r because I am at the play date now :)

Re: Love...

  • Okay so I was hoping to encourage some deep and thoughtful discussion....

    I think there are different kinds of love and that it grows and matures with you and your relationships. Loving my daughter is like no other feeling I have ever felt. It is unconditional love. Nothing she could ever do would make me not love her...I can be hurt, disappointed, angry or even not like who she becomes but I will always love her. With DH I feel like it is more like an equal love. I feel for him and he feels for me and it goes up and down. I cannot imagine loving another person like I love him but it is far from unconditional.

    I do not think love defines a marriage. I think it is an important part but it cannot be the only thing. There must be mutual respect. Also I think a marriage is about a continuing bonding and growing together. It is teamwork.

    Anybody have anything to add?

  • I agree. Love is a crucial part of every relationship, but it's not the only thing that matters. DH and I have really learned how to communicate and respect each other more and more as we've been together, and having that strong communication makes us love each other more.

    I'm really looking forward to feeling that unconditional love toward my daughter. It's hard to imagine right now, but I can't wait to experience it as I get to know her. :)

    Also, I just saw this post. Otherwise I would've posted earlier. ;)

  • I think a lot of people forget that love is a choice.  Yes, there's the unconditional love and the ooey gooey feelings, but there comes a point in every relationship when things get tough and you have to choose to love the other person.  Love isn't easy.
