WHAT IS TRUE LOVE?

IS love a combination of what looks good to the eye and makes the heart race? Do you know what defines true love, the kind of love that establishes and promotes a fulfiling, lifelong marriage? Here are some basic ingredients of true love. True love requires basically three elements: chemistry, compatibility and commitment (3C). Based on Dr Love's research, a couple should experince several progressive stages to sustain and perpetuate true love.Let's see what they are and how you can put this insightful knowledge to good use in your marriage. Any marriage will inevitably face challenges. Most of them are normal-predictable and common to all mariages, provided you allow for differences between genders, cultures, ethnicities and genetics.To assume that some marriages are free from challenges is to misunderstand basic human difeferences, not only because men and women differ dramatically but also because there are varying physiological and psychological factors within each gender. Many couples assume that once they fall in love they will remain enthralled forever, with no work involved. True marital love is not a once-done, permanent thing. I is a growing, living and unfolding jouney throuhgout one's natural life.No marriage can be truly happy without attentive sacrifice and service by both the husband and wife. Some people give up on an otherwise potentially good relationship only to discover that the very same weaknesses that contributed to the first breakup show up in later marriages. The moment one person positively changes his or her part of relationship, the entire relationship changes. Still, both mates must make positive changes to grow a happy marriage. Your marriage is not much different from others. All marriages have good and bad times. There is no perfect marriage, but every marriage can be "perfected" a little each day-and it will, if both mates sensitively contribute to the marriage relationship.
