True love

I'm a sucker for love; true love that is. You know the type that is emitted in everything a couple does? From what they say about each other, how they treat each other, how they  look at each other  or how  they touch one another.  The type that you can see,  even though they are across the room from each other,  that lets you know that he is hers and she is his. That " I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that I was blessed when I was granted the opportunity to spend the rest of my life with you EVEN when things are hard" type. Yeah, THAT type of love.

Many people would say that this type of love is becoming extinct. In a world where "till death do us part" really means "till you get on my nerves enough" or "till things get too hard," one wonders where the examples are.  The words "I love you" is tossed around like a salad so much that people don't even know what the words truly mean. Husbands and wives aren't dating each other anymore; heck they are barely speaking to each other! Couples don't show appreciation of one another; things are just expected. Love isn't being reaffirmed beyond the early honeymoon phase of marriage. And the couples that choose to stay together are looking like they get run over by a truck every time they go home. It's a sad situation.

However, I say all this to say that despite how gloomy the love outlook may appear, true love does still exist. I am fortunate to see and speak to some couples at work that exemplify what I consider real love. I love speaking to them and hearing their stories and advice about relationship longevity and maintaining love in a relationship. It's inspiring.

I want to share a video clip with you. I hope you will be touched by it just as I was.

True love does exist. Wait for it.

With love,
