Is Love Enough Gauge? by Juliet S

"When hunger strikes, love flies out of the window". This powerful statement is the most common line I heard when difficulties strike in the family. This is a fact and not a joke as I have observe from people and those who venture into married life at an early age. Most of them really have difficulty going through their married life especially when they produce many kids. At first they believe that love is enough for the union. I think differently. The readiness from both side is very necessary, whether physically, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually and financially.

Physical readiness is not an indication that you should possess the 36-24-36 vital statistics so that you will look sexy wearing your best dress for a lifetime. But it is more than an outward manifestation. How are you going to make it a "happily ever" after kind of story depends on the goals you set for your marriage. One of the reasons why a husband left his wife is because she lacks something. What is that something? It can be the ability to care, to manage the household, to love, to share, and to make both of you happy in and outside of your exotic chamber. As the song of the Spice Girls goes, " Cause Tonight is the Night When Two become One" . Sexual union is the expression of how both of you love and long for each other after the hard days work. If one has a happy sexual life of course it will lead to a happy married life. That's why when I once asked a man the kind of woman he wanted to have in life he said, "someone who is hotter than me" (a wife should be hotter than her husband)..... Its a wow but maybe it can help. The comptibility of your body chemistry will matter and how both of you ignite both of your passion to keep it burning.

Being emotionally and psychologically ready is an important factor to consider. Of course married life is not after all always a happy union. Problems or shall I say challenges exist and these are things that cannot be separated in any relationship. It is always there present in order to provide both of you an avenue to renew your love for each other thus provide you a glue to make your relationship stick.

Why is it important to be spiritually ready? Of course putting God at the center of any relationship is a duty that one should not miss. This is the spiritual obligations of a Christian. When you are asked to draw a house, first you draw a triangular form, what does this imply? Triangle has three sides and three corners. If you put yourself into this context,God, you and your partner occupy the three sides/corners. He is at the center holding both of your hands. Maybe He is holding you in His left hand and your partner in His right hand. If the three of you hold each other's arms, there's is a strong bond. There's one thing so certain: God will never let go both of your hold. In a situation that you and your partner will loose its hold and if one perseveres to have it back, God is there to help both of you to be connected with each other again.

What about financial stability? Practically speaking, this is also important. This is not a fundamental gauge in success for marriage but it can provide weapon to give you comfort in life. Remove one from its readiness , I'm sure it can create burden and even more challenges in the family. This is why sometimes when hunger pangs strike in the family love flies out of the window. So you begin to wonder where love have gone?

Food for Your Frustrated Heart

For as long as there is tommorow, I will be here.

Just love me and I will continue loving you...

While waiting for the right person to come to your life,
play and have fun with the wrong one.
But be careful with who you play with because that person
might be the one for you...

Its better to lose your pride to someone you love than to lose your love because of your pride.
Be brave to fight for it and face it before you will realize what a great lose you had.

In times of darkness love sees.
In times of silence love hears.
In times of doubts love hopes.
In times of sorrows love heals.
In old times love remembers...

what makes them laugh.
But you can never truly love someone until you found out
what makes them cry.....

Love 'till it hurts and when it hurts, love some more.
And when it hurts some more, love even more.
And when it hurts even more, love 'till it hurts no more...

Love is giving people due space
to be exactly who they are
and who they are not...
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

True love is when you are asked how long you have known him.
Your response would be in your heart,
you've known him for a lifetime, it just took too long to find him...
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

If I couldn't spend every second of my life beside you;
then I would rather waste every second of it,
looking at you from the sky than be with someone else
but still dreaming of you....
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

No thoughts can hurt as much as the thought
of the love that could have been.
And no love can hurt as much
as the love that can never be...
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Love is an unconditional commitment to an imperfect person...
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

All of us has an ideal perfect MR. RIGHT.
But we often end up with someone totally
opposite but still very much perfect for us...
