Love isn't everything ???

[Orcrist]

Sounds like she is "getting it" more than most. (...waxing philosophical...) In my books Love isnt everything. It is messy and makes things terribly complicated. Mostly because it is not a emotion that works well in isolation... Love is only truly beautiful when it is reciprocated in kind. I have been happily married for 14 years (and with my wife for 18) and our love is strong. However it would never be this strong if it wasnt for the empowerment garned from Respect. Without Respect all other (positive) emotional responses (particularly love) are without substance. Other aspects (trust, loyalty, passion) as just subsets that seldom (cannot???) exist without Respect. At least thats how I see it. Cheers, David

Well said, sir.

Love IS everything, independent of what she is trying tell you :)

Wise words.

Not sure if it is really wisdom... More likely it is brute force experience learned from 18 gruelling err... wonderfull years living with the same person. I'm just a little slow. :-D Cheers, David

Or, as The Police said, "Love can mend your life but love can break your heart".

*grin* She has real social issues. Most stuff she says, she learns rote. I doubt she meant anything by it. That's what makes it funny to me :-)
