Being young, a new mom, and a student, I find it hard sometimes to remember the simple things. I forget sometimes that a simple note to the love of your life to show some extra appreciation can do wonders for any relationship. I recently have decided to give my boyfriend quotes of love everyday (or at least try to). I have found many that are inspiring and deep. I want to share some of them from time to time to remind people that love is a foundation of a relationship that needs to be tended to constantly, and all it takes is a few words to let the other person know that you truly love them and who they are.
"When you fall in love it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathless, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of every day. It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. No...don't blush. I am telling you some truths. For that is just being in love; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away..." -From the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin
I know that this is a long quote but to take some of it out would destroy it's true meaning and the effect of it's power because at the end of the day it is not about what is short and sweet or easy to handle, what is important is the mountains of adversity that are conqured together as a couple. For that is a true test of strength and durability in this life.
I hope this will brighten your day and the day of your loved one :)
