Do you still remember why you fell in love with your SO?

I've been cleaning out old photographs and taking a trip down memory lane. I came across a bunch my husband took of me right after we were married (damn I was hot!) and reminiscing about those days when we looked forward and were planning our lives together.

So, do you still remember why you fell for your SO?

I thought my husband was incredibly strong. He had custody of two of his kids from his divorce, worked 10-12 hours a day to support them and still found time to be a good dad. He was one of the most respectable men I'd ever met. I couldn't believe he was even interested in me.

in my case it wasn't why, it was because and still stays so. I can try to dissect and anal-lyze it but what for?

I guess it can become vague. But I remember exactly why I fell in love with my wife and why I'm still in love with my wife. Beyond everything else that has to be there, sexual, intellectual and emotional compatibility, a mutual respect and friendship, what I saw almost immediately was an uncommon goodness that I couldn't argue away.

I've never given it a moments thought. I fell in love with him because he is HIM and I am ME. We got along well, and still do. If you start picking apart a relationship into whys and hows, then you run the risk of losing something if that part changes. Instead of loving the person as a whole, unconditionally, and loving in spite of any changes.

YMMV

In other words, true love is a wholesome thing, it's basic, integral, primordial, you can't pry it apart into components. "I am what I am" as it was told to Moses to his dumb question on the mountain.
