True Love is when you can sit in a room together and say nothing, and it feels like you've said a thousand words!
I just had to post this!

| Choices:True Love or True Friends Posted: 1/2/2007 4:56:28 PM | | Don't we all want a love like that! You know, the kind that you see from an elderly couple as they sit on the porch in their rockers, not saying a word, but knowing each other's thoughts! The kind of love that lasts forever, cause it's real!!! sigh, one day!!! | |

| Choices:True Love or True Friends Posted: 1/3/2007 5:56:01 AM | | I had a backyard neighbor once, a deacon in the church, an elderly man. His wife got Alzheimer’s. He took care of her. Sometimes, when he could, he would walk around the block and come sit on my porch and we would talk. Most of the time we would talk about his wife. He would look away, remembering and tell me things like how he has to help her get dressed and undressed. Then he laughed and he said, "I remember the first time I helped her undress… it was our honey moon." He smiled real big and chuckled and then went home and I went in the house and cried. That is true love. That is what I want. | |

| Choices:True Love or True Friends Posted: 1/3/2007 7:48:10 AM | Damn, woman, that little story brought a tear to my eyes. I agree-- that is what I want back. I had it, and let it wither and die on the vine. I curse myself everyday for that. I thank God everyday for the two precious children he gave us, and that we are at least still friends.
cheers~~ | |

Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk
Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much
It's a beautiful day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  | |

| Choices:True Love or True Friends Posted: 1/3/2007 3:10:26 PM | | Friends come and go, but true love lasts forever. Sometimes we forget what true love is, as in americsa, it seems to be the what have you done for me lately type thing, how someone can make US feel, not what we can do for THEM or how happy we can make THEM feel. True love values her smile before yours, it rejouces in her happiness, and smiles when she does. True love doesnt depend on what she does for you, but who she is, and how you just want to do anything to make her Happy. In the new testament, it says that husbands are to lay thier lives down for thier wife, as Christ layed his life down for us. Does that just mean physicaly dying for? Sometimes love is blind, and it bleeds for the one you love. It also will let go when not wanted. Does that mean love ended? When she isnt happy with you, love lets her go. When she finds happiness with someone else, does love try to tear that apart? True love can change forms when the loved one is happy somewhere else. I have had that once, and dont regret it. I want it again. I have a true friend, but I want true love again. | |

| Choices:True Love or True Friends Posted: 1/3/2007 3:20:45 PM | Ohhh, no one word that was beautiful. It made me cry. We have an elderly couple in our church like that. When it is time for the song and greeting (where everyone gets up and greets each other), this couple always stands up and hugs each other. I have never had that type of love and I want it so badly. I am just afraid that I will never get to experience a love like that.
Take care,

| Choices:True Love or True Friends Posted: 1/3/2007 7:06:59 PM | | I didn't mean to make anyone cry. It just broke my heart to think of that kind of devotion on it's death bed, literally. I guess there's nothing you can do but cry. sorry | |
|
| Choices:True Love or True Friends Posted: 1/4/2007 2:24:48 AM | But it's a good, hopeful kind of cry. We all want that kind of true devotion, and like kyn said, it can happen! With time, patient, and most of all God's hand in things, it can happen.
Bigdaddy, yes, the Bible does say that men are to lay down their lives for their wives, but at the same time, I think too many women, well, and men, too, expect their spouses to give up their lives totally after marriage! Just because you get married, doesn't mean you have to give up all of your interests. The interest in other people, yes, of course, but your interest in things like golf, and, well, my mind went blank on an and, you shouldn't have to give that up! Marriage is about compromise and too many people go into it with the attitude that it's all going to be my way! Sure, they don't show it at the beginning, because who would want to be married to someone like that? That's not true love, and that's not what most people want!! | |

| Choices:True Love or True Friends Posted: 1/4/2007 5:29:40 AM | Bigdaddy, it sounds like you've been done wrong and your hurting, as I know many of us have been, and I'm so very, very sorry, if there was a pill for the ache of the heart I'd surely take it too,
"In the new testament, it says that husbands are to lay their lives down for their wife, as Christ laid his life down for us."
That’s in Ephesians 5, right before that it says wives submit to your husband, if a wife submitted to her husband and that same husband was willing to lay down his life for his her then they would function well but generally it doesn't work out that way. One usually loves more than the other and that’s the one that gets stepped on, the one who keeps the peace who begins the apology.
It also says to be equally yoked to the one you marry (this is about to be way out of context-2 Corinthians 6- don't shoot me) which I know means for Christians to marry Christians but you could also say it means marry someone who loves you and is committed to you and has the same values as you are/do.
Someone told me (I've actually been told this several times) that if you love him enough you'll put up with it, do you love him enough? That’s a hard question to hear and even harder to answer.
I hope you find joy or at least peace | |

| Choices:True Love or True Friends Posted: 1/4/2007 1:45:19 PM | | What I meant by saying laying your life down for your wife, is that boht are supposed to do that. IF both husband and wife are trying to make each other happy, before themselves, then noone really would have to give up what they enjoy. The wife woul;d have what she likes because the husband wants her to be happy, as well as the hubby would have what he enjoys because the wife enjoys making him happy. It would come naturally, not by being demanded or by some selfish way of love that expects someone else to do it for you. Yes I have been hurt, a LOOOONG time ago. I di share those experiences to try to make my point. One of which is true love doesnt just die, and go away when one has been done wrong, just as we all have done Christ wrong, but he still loves us. When I was done wrong, it did hurt, but I didnt stop loving her, although I did stop wanting her. But I guess if I am to find another love, I should at least act like I hate my ex or something, cause most surley dont understand and I wouldnt want the new one to be jealous over someone I wouldnt touch with a 100 foot pole if she was the only woman on earth. | |

| Choices:True Love or True Friends Posted: 1/4/2007 5:55:39 PM | | You're right, Bigdaddy. True love doesn't just die, but it can be killed! I honestly thought I was married "until death do us part," only it was me who was going to die at the hands of my first husband had I not had the strenght to get out. Over time, the abuse killed away anything I felt, except fear, for the guy. | |

| Choices:True Love or True Friends Posted: 1/4/2007 6:57:19 PM | No Wolfie your right and your wrong. Since I am a bit cynical about "love", I forgot what kind of love and life my parents had. Mom and Dad didn't have to talk to each other, dad would just give mom a wink and she would just smile and say love you too. True love is going through hell together and staying together because you love each other. my dad was an alcoholic, not a happy go lucky one, but an violent one, thankfully, he never hurt any of us, but instead of mom packing up and leaving him, she stayed with him because she loved him, once he choose to get help and went into alcohol rehab in gainesville, they found out that he needed heart surgery. Long story short, dad died oct 23 of 1989, mom never dated or remarried, when asked why not, she said that "when you have been married to the best, forget the rest. what was so beautiful about dad's death, he did not stop breathing until mom told him that she would be alright and she would see him again. Mom passed away april 1, 2001, all of my brothers and sisters were in the room when she passed, before she died, i saw a slight smile on her face, which should of been impossible since she had a major stroke due to a brain hemorage from blood clots. Dad was there to escort his bride home. Now that is true love and thats what I want, someone to grow old with, that stays through good times and bad. | |
