Love is absolutely real. It is not those romantic notions that will flicker and fade and then flicker again. You cannot build a house upon the sand.
When I look at my husband, I see a person who has sacrificed so much for me, and for our children. When I watch him play with our daughters, it hurts because I adore him so much.
When we met, I was a vulgur, rude and selfish girl. Through the course of our relationship, I began to see how my selfish ways would hurt him and I wanted to change. He never asked that of me, I just knew that he deserved better and I wanted to be that for him. I went from being a very independent "modern" woman who would never want to be a stay at home mom, to the mother of three who wants nothing more than to get up at 4:30 in the morning to pack a lunch for my husband and take care of our children all day. I never would have accepted a man's authority over me, but now I will bend to his every will because I respect him and trust him, and I believe with all my heart that he has the best intentions for me and our children. When he is gone for work trips, I miss him dearly, his humor, his touch, his giddyness that he shares with our children. His presence is what makes our home a home.
Is this love? What else would it be? We are not always kissy kissy, after all, he is a man and only women really thrive on that (although men enjoy it, they aren't as dependent on it as we women are). We have a deep relationship that is made out of commitment, respect and affection. We honor each other and would not make a decision that would impact the other without their input first. These are simple things that are made difficult because as humans we are very selfish beings that don't want to comprimise or seek permision from someone else before we do what we want.
Love is making a conscious effort that requires daily commitment to thinking of someone else first. Is it real? Absolutely. If you are not in love right now, it is because you are too selfish to make that deep of a sacrifice to another person, as I used to be.

I think Love is real, it's just harder to find than it use to be! theres a simple way out and it helps abolish divorce. Stay Single! but then you would miss out on the pleasures of a marriage, the joys and the sadness. I've never been married cause I'm only 14 but I think I know enough to understand what true love is.

LOVE is totally real. How could the world survive without love, when the world was created with Love?
I think that the love in the world does decrease every single day, but there's still those of us out there that actually know how to find it... In our daily lives.
This doesn't mean we're going to find our one TRUE love, get married, and live happily ever after... It just means that we live our lives with love, we give without expecting to receive back, stuff like that.
I really think that, even though it doesn't feel like it sometimes, love is out there for everyone to find.
God bless. :)

Can be when you find the right one and let them into your heart. But it can fool you also and break your heart.
