I used to believe that "anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of your time". Then I had several check-ins with reality and I now wonder if that type of love actually exists.
Today I carpooled to work with my wonderful, beautiful mom. (Post on my amazing mom and the sermon on mercy the other day to come soon). On the way home, she started talking about how my dad was acting yesterday and how she can't stand it. I should say here that my dad is a WONDERFUL dad and all-around good guy. Both of my parents are remarkable people. They have been married for almost thirty years. They love each other...they do...just not the way I want to love my husband someday and for the rest of my life. What I'm saying isn't a secret; I told my mom these very words during the car ride. I asked my mom once if she loved my dad and she told me that she did..."in a spiritual kind of way." What does that mean?! Like, the kind of love that you have to give to your cousin because you are related? That's basically what she meant.
So does the true, mad, deep, passionate love exist? The kind that can last forever? The kind that is so real that it causes the surviving mate to die of a literal broken heart soon after they lose the love of their life? I'd like to believe so. I really want to believe it. Heck, I'd even like to experience it. But will I? I don't know...I doubt it.

I don't know if that kind of love exists...if you find it, let me know. I think realistically marriage is like a roller coaster....it will ALWAYS have its ups and downs....so except the pitfalls and enjoy the good while it lasts!!!!
Oh, and learn to use the right form of 'accept'.....its been a LONG day!!! Sorry!!!
LOL I read the first one and laughed about how you used the wrong version...then I saw your second comment! hehe You sure do know me well!! :)
