RE: Looking for experience from others
I sincerely thought love was a myth that people used to write songs and poetry about. My first marriage was loveless. Since I didn't think love was real, it didn't seem to matter that I married someone with the element of love missing. I then divorced and spent the next 20 years alone. Then I met my current husband. I could not believe it - it was truly like getting hit by a lightning bolt, as the Italians refer to it. And it is SO true that you cannot pick who you are going to love, it is something that just happens. I can now say that love is one of the most real and powerful forces in the universe. It is wonderful, and it has brought out the best in me and a degree of unselfishness that I didn't even know I was capable of. Best of all, true love is enduring - it definitely stands the test of time and all manner of trials and tribulations. It's the superglue of emotions. After four years of marriage, each day still feels like the honeymoon. My whole existence centers around the object of my love, and I know I would lay down my life for him if needed. I am ever so grateful to have experienced true love and learned that it is real and not a myth. All I can say is that when it hits you, you definitely know it is the real thing. It's pretty unmistakable. And the best part is that any type of difficulties that may occur in the relationship end up actually making the love grow stronger, not weaker. As time goes on, real love actually grows, matures, and flourishes. To this day I often get approached by complete strangers who comment that they can see how much my husband and I love each other just by the way we look at each other in public. I never pictured my husband as the type of man that I would be attractetd to. Lucky for us that I look at people's heart first before anything else, because that's where love resides - in the heart - not in looks, or height or hair color or profession. Keeping an open mind and jettisoning all ideas of the type of physical characteristics that one might have that represents their perfect partner is in my estimation the biggest first step to finding true love. Whatever difficulties exist in the journey to finding love are all well worth it. There is quite literally nothing better than true love.
