"The One"

My friend and I have had this discussion and I’ve actually asked several people and gotten a plethora of responses. It’s pertaining to being in love, actual love, the real thing, the whole kit and caboodle. Here is a question I present to anyone that would like to take a shot at it!

Do you know at least 5 couples in your family/friend/working environment that you would consider truly in love? Now when I ask this question you should ponder on the question before you start zipping out answers. Of course, as many, your first response in your head will either be a) me and my spouse or b) my parents. Again, take your time; make sure you really think this through.

I’m talking about “the one”; you know what I’m talking about. Maybe you dated him/her when you were younger and still have moments that he/she crosses your mind. The love that grabbed your heart like a spinning wheel, caused butterflies every time he/she was in your presence, finished your thoughts knew you inside and out, shared intimate moments you still think about today – yep I’m talking about “the one”.

Can you name 5 couples that live this kind of love in their marriage right now? Sadly I bet you can’t, and if you can I bet you’d be hard pressed to come up with #6.

Why is that, what happens to “that kind of love”? Are you only allowed that for a certain amount of time and then you grow up, become responsible and what? It just falls to the back burner. Does the commitment to our partners fall to bottom behind kids, work, bills, chores, etc.? Why don’t we keep it alive?

I can name 3 couples that I truly feel still put their partners first and co-exist, not only in the outside world, but still love each other as deeply as the day they met. When you see them and get to know them you know it can be existent for anyone that wants to have it.

True love, I believe in it and trust me if you’ve had it you know how great it can be and if you’ve lost it you wonder if you’ll ever have it again. I don’t believe there is just one chance of finding “the one”, as I think you can fall in love again, but can you hold on to it with all of life’s pressures?
