Perhaps you're in a relationship right now and you need validation if it's true love or just infatuation.
In the early stage, your hearts are burning with passion and intensity. Along the way, you will get to know more about each other and you discover attitudes that you don't like. Misunderstandings start to rise and you contemplate to hold on a little longer or just let go.
Do you love the person or you just love what they can give you? Are you only using that person for money or only for physical pleasure?
Love is more than just a feeling. It's fleeting, it goes away. Some relationships end because they fell out of love. So there should be a formula that will sustain love.
Love is easier when everyone is healthy, finances are stable, just everything seems to be fine. But when things don't go according to your plans and times get rough, that's when love takes place.
You treat the person as more important than your physical desires or preferences.
Love is painful and sacrificial but it grows deeper in that form of action.
Last year, I got depressed. I attempted to end my life with a knife on my wrist. This article gives you the full details of it.
When he learned about it, he traveled 4 hours to check me out. My parents didn't know I have a boyfriend until that moment. It was their first meeting.
He blamed himself about what happened to me. But I blamed myself more from being too selfish, for being too self-centered, and for neglecting him. It's as if I was alone when in fact I have him and my family.
Upon recovering, he constantly reassures me that he will always be there for me, even up to now. Truly I felt his sincerity, and that's when I realized what true love is.
I am guilty of taking him for granted during the 1st year of our relationship. I never knew what true love is until he taught me what it is. We're together for 2 years and a half now.
I know, there will be more challenges we'll face but after we've been through, I'm positive we will make it.
Sidenote:
I could make an article of how we met. It's kind of an issue though (society's insights) but I'll share it anyway.
