I personally do not believe in love. I believe in respect, passion, lust, companionship, compromise, communication; all of this is built over time, and it makes a relationship stronger. Some might say that all of that combined is the definition of love, so if all of this is love, and it takes time to get to that point, how can love at first sight exist?
your thoughts?
WOW ! can Cupid's arrow be so swift? to that I have to say YES!... Step back to June 1963, Bobbies Roll-A-Way, Pawtucket, RI, There in the middle of the skating rink was this beautiful ,5'3" piece of heaven. Well mannered women, spinning, dancing to the beat of the music. Being the bashful type at that time in my life, it took me 3 nights to get the nerve to introduce myself to her ( through a family friend ), When this friend introduced her to my life changed forever.
Thats when i found out that this person I felt would be the perfect one to spend the rest of my life with , even though my heart was running 100 miles an hour,was a deaf person, born that way.
Needless to say we spent the next 1 1/2 hrs writing notes to each other , exchanging each others personal info, before taking her home where we were met by her father ( a Pawtucket Police officer!).
For the next 3 weeks we spent every evening together, my learning sign language and her learning to vocalize sounds ( so she could speak a little ).
Now fast forward 3 months to Sept. 31, 1963 were at the Church saying I do ( yes getting married). Now really fast forward 49 yrs to Sept 2012, yep still here together , 2 kids, 3 grand kids , 3 great grand kids, .
Now has it been easy ? No , But when we got married no one said it would be a piece of cake!, ( in fact the in-laws said it wouldn't last because my wife was Deaf and I could hear). Funny though, the In-laws divorced 4 yrs later. We said we would love , honor and be faithful to each other until death do us part. ( and neither of us have died yet!). This type of relationship worked back then because some of us were happy to keep fertilizing the grass rather the looking for the greener pastured outside of the marriage. When there is true love in a marriage nothing can destroy it. When you find the right one you know it ! .

A lot of women supposedly often can't separate love and lust. Some seem to be able to, though.
I don't think anyone can separate it. In my eyes love is a higher form of lust, lust that goes beyond sexual experience but there is no love without lust underneath. We are after sexual beings. Lust, love are just natures way to ensure we procreate.
