To love someone is to take a chance with love, with that someone you love. Some people called it a leap of faith. Only time will tell if the love works out. If it doesn’t, you could be in a very bad spot. You could be very miserable, deeply hurt and pained by someone you love and trust.
A lot of love and marriages failed because people think that the period of courtship is what love is like. They are deluded if that’s what they think. The real test of love comes after the honeymoon is over.
For love to grow and stay, for a relationship, or marriage to work, both partners have to put in effort. Both have to be committed, and trust in each other.
The following are some thoughts on love, some suggestions, and advice on how to make love stay.
No matter how you look at it, all the emotions connected with love are not really immortal; like all other passions in life, they are bound to fade at some point. The trick is to convert love into some lasting friendship that overcomes the fading passion. - Harold Pinter
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them with our own image – otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. - Unknown
Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together; at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit. - Alexandre Dumas
Unconditional love may fail, but love with conditions does not even have a chance. - Unknown
Love is always a stranger in the house of avarice. - Andreas Capellanus
The best proof of love is trust. - Joyce Brothers
Love endures only when the lovers love many things together and not merely each other. - Walter Lippmann
Love and money should properly have nothing to do with each other. - John Saul
Love cannot be found where it doesn’t exist. There’s a difference between being patient with someone and wasting your time. - Unknown
Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another’s heart, or its flame burns low. - Henry Ward Beecher
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing. - Anais Nin
