WE need LOVE

Cathy — Fri, 29 May 2009 12:43:02 +0000

From the crib to the grave we all reach out for someone to love us, someone to accept us,

and for someone we can love and accept. We want to feel that we belong and we matter to the people who are dear to us. The truth is… love is necessary for survival.

Without it we lose the will to live. We don’t know why we are here. We feel helpless, worthless and lost. Some commit suicide for the lack of love, some even undergo divorce and annulment in order to begin their search for love again. While others slipped beyond the line of sanity for lack of affection. When we love, we glow with a radiance that affects us physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. Almost in all aspects, we are affected. The world suddenly glow with color and our existence become worthy.

Fact is, we all crave for love, and sometimes it seems that we can never get enough. Love is, in fact, the simplest yet powerful force contributing to our total well-being. However, we must also realize that in love, it is unlikely

that wc will ever be love as completely and as exactly as we might wish to be.

A marriage for better or worse

Marriage is something that is not strange to us. You fall in love… you get married. You want to have your own famiy… then get married. You get pregnant, you get married. As simple as that.

But the truth is, marriage is never as simple as most people thought it is. Being married is not simply saying yes and performing the usual “kiss the bride” tradition. Being married is committing yourself to someone FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. Easier said than done. Because marriage takes a lot of sacrifices and giving up. You have to give up your freedom, your singleness, your life alone, even your surname and share it with your other half. You have to think not only for yourself but also for your family. You have to close your eyes for others and limit yourself to one.

Marriage is not a bed full of roses. It has its thorns and pains. The longer you live together, the more you realize both the good and the bad side of your partner. There may comes a time that you or your other half would might want to get out of it. Happiness in marriage doesn’t come from waving a magic wand… it doesn’t come from dreaming couples have to work for it…side by side. Because no marriage would succeed with only one fighting for it.

” I assure you, I will stand by your side…right or wrong
in happiness and in pain, no matter what happens
until such time I know that I have to let you go
not because I am tired of loving you
but because in my heart I know
that you are no longer mine”
