Every girl in the world should realize this!
Yes, and no.
A slow, long burning candle provides more warmth and light than a brief explosion, even though it may appear dull to others.
Word indeed.
Great quote!
I am 39 and have been married for 21 years. Passion ebbs and flows. I agreee with Tiffster.
I have been married for 14 years. have to agree with Tiffster.
Oh! Thank you for the reminder. Just what I needed to remember today.
I co-sign Tiffster. I sometimes think the idea that love must be off the charts crazy amazeballs is what keeps people from being satisfied with normal, boring, day to day love. The kind of love that says "Today, I kind of sort of hate your face, but I'm sticking with you because I said I would, and we have great times mixed in with the hard." I get that this quote probably refers to the beginning stages of falling in love, but even so, I'm wary of what seems like a bit of a rom com super high expectations effect of crazy in love "our story" kind of relationships...
I also think a lot of the "couples in love" blogs or "cute young marrieds" blogs contribute to this hyper idealized version of falling in love/being in love. Even though I'm not Mormon, I like the pragmatic quotes from Church leaders about how there is no one perfect person, and how love is more hard work than happy feelings in the end. Those guys give good advice, even if they're not my personal prophets.
