Love is the difficult

the one. But I bet that many such
pre-mature decisions take a very
serious turn later on and the
reason is that we forget to
understand that falling in love and
love are two different things;
Love and Marriage are two
different concepts.

lovers will work at
their relationships
one day that feeling
can grow into love.
Falling in love is crazy,
it’s when knees are getting weak and
temperature rises, love is calm,
comfortable and mental.
Usually if you ask yourself “am
I in love?’ it means you’re not,
because when you’re fallen in love
you already have no questions, this
feeling is to obvious to leave any
doubts. So it’s more reasonable to
count the consequences of it than to

look for the signs.
We usually fall in love with
the appearance of the person,
with the way he/she walks, the
way he/she talks. When in
relationship, some couples
continue their relationships and
get married in the end but some
fall apart.
Today, all one can think of is
his/her partner’s care and
generosity. But this doesn’t ensure
long term happiness. This behavior
will not remain the same forever.
Sometime people regret their
decision of getting married too
early without giving the
relationship proper time. People
today are extremely emotional
and this trait clouds our judgment.
It is very important that we take
time to understand ourselves
and the relation and not make a
mistake.
With time things change,
they won’t remain like that
forever. In our culture, we
strongly believe in the institution
of marriage. The problem is love
and marriages are two different
things. Marriage is a social
arrangement that requires
practicality. It is about being a
part of the society. It is about
raising children and changing
nappies; about earning money
and social status and focusing on
mundane things like food,
servants and relatives.
Do we really think about it
when we decide we want to
spend the rest of our life with
some person? Many people
don’t! Falling in love is easy but
being is love is very difficult.
One should go ahead only when
he/she has thought about all these
in a practical sense. It’s not about
caste, it’s not about religion, it’s
not even about your family; it’s
about you. If you are sure you can
have a successful relation than you
surely will but this confident feeling
should not be the result of
infatuation, need or hurry. Be sure
it’s real love!
In most cases we think: this is
true love, when in fact it’s not. But
then if this isn’t love than what it
is? There are plenty of things that
we confuse with love.It could be
just the basic instinct.
But than what does real love
look and feel like? Maybe it’s when
two people seem to know each
other for ages and even in their
previous lives. No!
True love is when partners
complete one another, when
they’re together it’s peaceful, the
whole other world with it’s

sufferings and problems doesn’t
exist and nothing even matters.
True love means understanding.
One trusts another more than
him/herself and feels ready to
satisfy every little need of a
partner.
But the question that true
love is still has no definite answer.
Do we truly love only once in our
life? Does it last for a lifetime or
just for a while? Probably everyone
has his own answers to these
questions. The truth is that no one
should spend life chasing ideals or
building relationships by some
model of a true love. One will
probably fail and miss the real
thing beyond all this.
We should remember that
only the true feeling of love makes
life really longer and happier. And
this is a fact!
