Very true.
When you love a person it is as they are, they don't grow old, or fat, or bald, or forgetful, or sick, they are always your loved one. True love does not even look for a return on your investment.
That's because those truly in love look through the eyes of T he Soul. -Sharon Fernandez

Today's thought from Hazelden is:
Love "bears all things" and "endures all things." These words say all there is to be said; nothing can be added to them. For we are in the deepest sense the victims and the instruments of cosmogonic "love." --Carl Jung
Those of us who've fallen in love can never forget the tender adoration of and the seeming perfection of our beloved, nor the complete abandon we felt. Later, when familiarity cleared our vision, we began trying to control the relationship and, of course, our beloved.
To bind them to our will, we wrap our loved ones in ribbons of care and concern. Or, if we are the least bit insecure, we become restrictive and possessive. Yet, as we experience the love of those who are helping us find our way - through them, to the love of God - we come to understand that love must be free. God's love does not insist on fidelity, good taste, or common sense. Why then should we demand more of those we love?
No person is my private possession, no behavior the price of my love.
