Love is an adventure<\/h2>\n

Love is an adventure and a conquest. It survives and develops like the universe itself only by perpetual discovery. The only right love is that between couples whose passion leads them both, one through the other, to a higher possession of their being.<\/p>\n

“Put your faith in the spirit which dwells between the two of you. You have each offered yourself to the other as a boundless field of understanding, of enrichment, of mutually increased sensibility.<\/p>\n

“You will meet above all by entering into and constantly sharing one another\u2019s thoughts, affections, and dreams. There alone, as you know, in spirit, which is arrived through flesh, you will find no disappointments, no limits.<\/p>\n

“There alone the skies are ever open for your love; there alone lies the great road ahead.<\/p>\n

– Pierre Tielhart de Chardin<\/p>\n

We will always collide<\/h2>\n

You will be the clouds<\/p>\n

and I will be the sky.<\/p>\n

You will be the ocean<\/p>\n

and I will be the shore.<\/p>\n

You will be the trees<\/p>\n

and I will be the wind.<\/p>\n

Whatever we are, you and I<\/p>\n

will always collide.<\/p>\n

– R.M. Drake<\/p>\n\n

A marriage<\/h2>\n

A marriage makes of two fractional lives a whole, it gives two purposeless lives a work and doubles the strength of each to perform it.<\/p>\n

It gives to two questioning natures a reason for living and something to live for.<\/p>\n

It will give new gladness to the sunshine, a new fragrance to the flowers, a new beauty to the earth and a new mystery to life.<\/p>\n

– Mark Twain<\/p>\n

Always<\/h2>\n

You were you<\/p>\n

and I was I;<\/p>\n

we were two<\/p>\n

before our time.<\/p>\n

I was yours, before I knew<\/p>\n

and you have always<\/p>\n

been mine too.<\/p>\n

– Lang Leav<\/p>\n

Buried Light<\/h2>\n

Home is not where<\/p>\n

you are from<\/p>\n

it is where<\/p>\n

you belong.<\/p>\n

Some of us<\/p>\n

travel the whole<\/p>\n

world to find it.<\/p>\n

Others,<\/p>\n

find it in a person.<\/p>\n

– Beau Taplin<\/p>\n

I will be here<\/h2>\n

If in the morning when you wake, if the sun does not appear, I will be here.
\nIf in the dark we lose sight of love, hold my hand and have no fear, I will be here.<\/p>\n

I will be here, when you feel like being quiet, when you need to speak your mind I will listen.
\nThrough the winning, losing, and trying we\u2019ll be together, and I will be here.<\/p>\n

If in the morning when you wake, if the future is unclear, I will be here.
\nAs sure as seasons were made for change, our lifetimes were made for years, I will be here.<\/p>\n

I will be here, and you can cry on my shoulder, when the mirror tells us we\u2019re older.
\nI will hold you, to watch you grow in beauty, and tell you all the things you are to me.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be together and I will be here. I will be true to the promises I\u2019ve made, to you and to the one who gave you to me.
\nI will be here.<\/p>\n

-Steven Curtis Chapman<\/p>\n

Blessing of the hands<\/h2>\n

These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow, and forever.<\/p>\n

These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as together you build your future.<\/p>\n

These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, and with the slightest touch, will comfort you like no other.<\/p>\n

These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief fills your mind.<\/p>\n

These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes; tears of sorrow, and tears of joy.<\/p>\n

These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children.<\/p>\n

These are the hands that will help you to hold your family as one.<\/p>\n

These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it.<\/p>\n

And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged, will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.<\/p>\n

– Rev. Daniel L Harris<\/p>\n

Mutual weirdness<\/h2>\n

We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutual weirdness and call it love.<\/p>\n

– Robert Fulghum<\/p>\n

To love is not to possess<\/h2>\n

To love is not to possess, to own or imprison, nor to lose one’s self in another.<\/p>\n

Love is to join and separate, to walk alone and together, to find a laughing freedom that lonely isolation does not permit.<\/p>\n

It is finally to be able to be who we really are, no longer clinging in childish dependency nor docilely living separate lives in silence, it is to be perfectly one’s self and perfectly joined in permanent commitment to another\u2014and to one’s inner self.<\/p>\n

– James Kavanaugh<\/p>\n

I’ll always be with you<\/h2>\n

If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together<\/p>\n

There is something you must always remember.<\/p>\n

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.<\/p>\n

But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart<\/p>\n

I’ll always be with you.<\/p>\n

– A. A. Milne<\/p>\n

Love is<\/h2>\n

Love is: being happy for the other person when they are happy, being sad for the other person when they are sad, being together in good times and being together in bad times.<\/p>\n

Love is the source of strength.<\/p>\n

Love is: being honest with yourself at all times, being honest with the other person at all times, telling, listening, respecting the truth and never pretending.<\/p>\n

Love is the source of reality.<\/p>\n

Love is: an understanding that is so complete that you feel as if you are a part of the other person accepting the other person just the way they are and not trying to change them to be something else.<\/p>\n

Love is the source of unity.<\/p>\n

Love is: the freedom to pursue your own desires while sharing your experiences with the other person, the growth of one individual alongside of and together with the growth of another individual.<\/p>\n

Love is the source of success.<\/p>\n

Love is: the excitement of planning things together, the excitement of doing things together.<\/p>\n

Love is the source of the future<\/p>\n

So this is love<\/p>\n

So this is what makes life divine<\/p>\n

I’m all aglow<\/p>\n

And now I know<\/p>\n

The key to all heaven is mine<\/p>\n

My heart has wings<\/p>\n

And I can fly<\/p>\n

I’ll touch the star in every sky<\/p>\n

So this is the miracle<\/p>\n

That I’ve been dreaming of<\/p>\n

So this is love<\/p>\n

The bridge across forever<\/h2>\n

A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks.<\/p>\n

When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are, we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be.<\/p>\n

Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person, we’re safe in our own paradise.<\/p>\n

Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person.<\/p>\n

Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.<\/p>\n

-Richard Bach<\/p>\n

The art of marriage<\/h2>\n

Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens.<\/p>\n

A good marriage must be created. In marriage the little things are the big things.<\/p>\n

It is never being too old to hold hands.<\/p>\n

It is remembering to say \u201cI love you\u201d at least once a day.<\/p>\n

It is never going to sleep angry.<\/p>\n

It is at no time taking the other for granted; the courtship should not end with the honeymoon, it should continue through the years.<\/p>\n

It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.<\/p>\n

It is standing together facing the world. It is forming a circle of love that gathers the whole family.<\/p>\n

It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy.<\/p>\n

It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.<\/p>\n

It is not looking for perfection in each other.<\/p>\n

It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding and a sense of humour.<\/p>\n

It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.<\/p>\n

It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow old.<\/p>\n

It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.<\/p>\n

It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal, dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal.<\/p>\n

It is not only marrying the right partner; it is being the right partner.<\/p>\n

– Wilferd Arlan Peterson<\/p>\n

That still and settled place<\/h2>\n

In that still and settled place<\/p>\n

There’s nobody but you<\/p>\n

You’re where I breathe my oxygen<\/p>\n

You’re where I see my view<\/p>\n

And when the world feels full of noise<\/p>\n

My heart knows what to do<\/p>\n

It finds that still and settled place<\/p>\n

And dances there with you.<\/p>\n

– Edward Monkton<\/p>\n

That’s relativity<\/h2>\n

Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.<\/p>\n

How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?<\/p>\n

Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour.<\/p>\n

Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That’s relativity.<\/p>\n

– Albert Einstein<\/p>\n

Carrie’s Poem<\/h2>\n

His hello was the end of her endings<\/p>\n

Her laugh was their first step down the aisle<\/p>\n

His hand would be hers to hold forever<\/p>\n

His forever was as simple as her smile<\/p>\n

He said she was what was missing<\/p>\n

She said instantly she knew<\/p>\n

She was a question to be answered<\/p>\n

And his answer was \u201cI do\u201d<\/p>\n
