When you think of love, do you think of falling into a trance in someone’s eyes? Or being captivated by someone’s smile? Do you think of being able to sit together on a front porch swing overlooking your beautiful property, with that person, when you’re old? Do you experience the butterflies or the fireworks that you always hear about being related to love?
What is your definition of love? How do you vision what love is supposed to feel or be like? Is it fairy tale? Is it just a concept that is overrated by current day movies and songs?
What is love?
Do you believe in fate? Do two people just come together out of coincidence?
I think sometimes we forget just what it is about our significant other that made us fall in love with them. We get caught up in day to day routines and busy schedules that we begin to overlook what brought us two to become one. We go on like robots, almost, like roommates. We may see each other everyday, but the passion is being hidden. The spark is being tamed. Sometimes we just get so caught up that we forget to actually, honestly notice each other, emotionally and physically.
From this day forward, I plan to never let my marriage become just a routine. Sometimes you really just don’t see that its happening. Not that your marriage is failing or that you’re no longer in love, but just that we forget to take the time to act upon being in love. Like the days when the love was new.
Yes, life happens, kids come into the picture, then you have work, and everything else that comes along, but we can’t forget to do what is necessary to keep the sparks ignited, and to keep the passion from being hidden.
Honestly, I’m not even sure what made me write this, I guess maybe because I just got finished watching a movie about couples realizing that sometimes they let life get in the way and take over more than it should and I honestly see that happening all around me.
xoxo
