My friend ask me to define what marriage was. Her boyfriend of 5yrs has been dropping hints that he might ask her. I told her if you can put up with all the bull, things that would normally make you go all homicidal & at the end of the day you still want to spend more time with that person, that is what marriage was. Its putting up with the faults of the one you love because you cannot think of your life without him. Its lol at the things he does that would normally send you off on a killing spree. Its looking deep into the other persons soul & realizing that its home & everything you have ever wanted. Its knowing that this person loves you more then anything else in this world, that you are his first & last thought of every day & you do the same thing. Its feeling that you have no secrets no mater how painful you might think telling each other might be. Its being able to look at each other & know what the other is thinking. Its finding that one person you can put up with for the rest of your life. LOL! I know that does not sound all sappy & lovy dovy, but its the truth. She thanked me & said I need counseling. LOL! I told her just because I don't wear pink & I don't like roses (I am allergic to the pollen.) does not mean I need counseling. It just means I am a realist. I want to know that there is really a foundation before I say that I am going to spend the rest of my life with someone. I don't believe in divorce, I believe in life insurance. LOL! Just kidding. But I am a romantic in a way, I do believe that there is someone out there for just me & that he will love me for the rest of his life. I just don't rush into things. She said I had a point. I told her "do you love him with all you heart & would be willing to give him up if it meant his happiness?" She hesitated & then said she did not know. I told her she should think on it then, because if she could not give him up to make him happy, then maybe she should not marry him. I told her to talk to him & see how he felt. See if he would give her the world & then step back. True love is being able to give that person anything they want or need without your own self interest involved in it. You just do it because you love that person not because you want them to love you. Thats where a lot of people get mixed up. She still thinks I need counseling. LOL! What do you think?
