What is love?


"Love"
It's a lot of things.
Most popularly it is passion. It's kisses and affection. It's a perfectly placed hand on her back or that look from across the room. The look that says more than anyone else knows. Love is known as newlyweds. Love is seen as big diamonds and expensive shoes given as gifts. Love is expressed through "I do" and embodied in children.
Love is a lot.
I think about love a lot.
More than I should.
I think about who I will marry, what life will be like, where we should register & what color I want my bridesmaids to wear. I think about the feeling of "love" . Will I know as soon as I meet Mr. Mine or will it take a while? Have I already met him? Really all I want to know is who this brave man is!
But this week i have been readjusting thoughts, I have been watching what real love is.
True Love is warming up his dentures before he wakes up, waking up at 3 a.m every morning to change his diaper. True love is allowing him to drive even though you have to make sure the lanes are clear before he changes, it's yelling at the top of your lungs just so he can hear you say good morning. True love is reminding him that you're his wife, it's showing him pictures of his grandkids and reviewing their names. It's helping him out of bed & bathing him.
Genuine, true love is for better or for worse.
