| Where Does The Love Go???? |

Mood: cheerful, 884 Views | It's so very sad.....I've been busy lately reacquainting with some of my old friends and a girlfriend reached out to me with her troubles. She had already had an uncaring/cheating husband her first time around and so when she met Mr. Right#2 she believed him to be the paradise she longed....she now tells me it's more like paradise lost!!!
Perhaps it wasn't love....her second time around, but merely bandaging the wounds of LOVE. I, of course, could never be the judge of something like that. Though she revealed the manner in which she met her second husband. She was separated from her first, met the second, and became pregnant even before her divorce was final. When she discovered she was pregnant, she was unsure whether the baby was her husband's or the new-to-be husband.
Though things went well in the beginning.....the excitement of the new baby and all......now that baby number 2 has come along, he's become lazy, he doesn't want to do anything around the house, if she mentions her worries to him, he tells her not to tell him her troubles. They argue where they hadn't before.
Soooooooo where did the love go???
Sometimes when friends reveal their troubles or unload them, they aren't really looking for an answer but rather just to release tension and get something off their chest.
To me, personally, I feel very deeply for couples who fall out of love....it's no fun. Who's to say where things went wrong......but I often feel that if both parties don't strive to keep things together, make the marriage the best it can be....then they're only headed for trouble. We can choose not to love as much as we choose to love. Where there is love God's presence is very strong......when we love less.....it weakens His presence.........it's no wonder marriages/relationships fail!!! I think it truly all has to do with LOVE!!!
We all have something that when we hear it named, i.e., Ice cream.....we say.....oh, I love that....and our mind dances happily with all delight, we are excited and long for it!!! Right?
Well, it should be the same as when we either hear our loved one's name or they are in our presence.....just like the snap of our fingers.....they should excite us and make us come alive....."just like they used to" to use a familiar phrase.
Soooooooo, it looks like if we keep the LOVE in it, it will last forever!!! Don't ya think???
