I couldn’t agree with you more. Love should be sparks and fireworks, but that may fade in time and what you need to be left with is a great foundation of friendship, loyalty, trust and commitment! The realism is that it takes work and doesn’t always come easily.

Thank you for the kind words!

You do mention a very good point here about love overshadowing the “cracks” in a relationship. Some people believe that love is all it takes to make a healthy relationship, but what they fail to understand is that no relationship is perfect and love alone is not enough to sustain it. HOWEVER, if the love is unconditional, it should be the basis or foundation for working out all the obstacles that come along.

So, a healthy relationship should start with love and grow strong through lots of compromise, understanding and compassion.

Love and relationships are very difficult for a lot of people, I think love can often overshadow the cracks in an unhealthy relationship and make it nearly impossible to see that possibly the relationship is not serving us well.

Healthy relationships in life and love are vitally important in order to encourage stability and safety in our world, but oftentimes I think some relationships do more harm than good.

Relationships are also our greatest “teachers” and love is what keeps us attracted to the lesson…

Yes, love is indeed splendid, but let’s not forget that it’s not always easy either. The key is to work through its difficulties to keep it “splendid”.
Thank you for posting your articles and giving my readers some great information.

A most simplistic definition of love can be what you said, “just one of those things”. Sometimes when something is so difficult to assign meaning to, the minimalism of what you said above is the easiest way to define it.

I’m sure most prefer the teddy bear love that you hold onto no matter what obstacles get in your way. You work on them together and know that your love can withstand anything.

The other alternative is if one of the people involved in the relationship decide to let go of the string of the balloon and let it go. If that is their choice, I suppose the other person hasn’t a say and it just wasn’t meant to be. I wish I had the answers. But instead, since my last response was so deep, I felt I should keep it simple this time around. : )

There are many definitions for this four letter word and it all comes down to the context we use it in. Great article Doc KC. I am loving (lol) your blog!

I too have written on the subject of LOVE which you can find here

and here

It is rather interesting about the “chemistry” and the “attraction” thing. I too am studying NLP and agree that the rapport and mirroring can bring people closer together to the point where they think they are in “love!”

Thanks for sharing your thoughts here… this is something which can be discussed continuously and we would all have our own interpretation.
