Define Love?

What is love?
We all love our children, thats natural.
Whatever they do through life we may not agree,we love them unconditionaly.

Husband partners that's different [msnwink]
Whats the difference between being in love and loving someone ?

I have been with the same guy for more years,
More than I am going to admit.
In that period of time, I have loved him,hated him,he has annoyed me,frustrated me, tested my patience to the extreme,embarressed me.I could have easily throttled him at times.
Yet years down the line we are still together,I cannot imagine my life without him.
We love spending time together, sharing experiences,laughing together.taking care of each other.
Is that love ? or a way of life
[msnwink][msnwink]

I love my wife Beverley.

I couldn't explain how much or why, the words don't exisit, but I'd lay down my life for her and I'd do anything for her. My ambition in life is to make sure she's happy, if she's not, I can't be.

After all this time I still get excited when she's due home I can't imagine that never being the case.[msnembarrased]

Your way of life is immaterial I think, It's what you feel for each other that counts.

Macka, Barbara, I think you have said it all.There is only one thing in life I fear and that is anything should happen to my husband.We have been really lucky to have found each other so early in our lives and it is still as exiting as when we first met.

Norma.

Barbara, Macka and now Norma you have all said it all!!!!![clap][clap][clap][clap][clap]

not complaining when he leaves the toilet seat up or when he misses the toilet bowl[msnwink]

LOL!!![clap][clap][clap][clap][clap]

Being in love means if he missed the toilet pan I would force his head down it[msnwink]and he would forgive me.

I went right through school with my husband since we were 6, we went out for a while when we were 14 then got back together when I was 20, 17 years ago that was and I still fancy him to bit's.

i met Steve in 1979, may to be precise, and we have been together ever since, through good times and bad, all the ups and downs that life can throw at you and some, i cant wait for him to get home each and every day, i have to speak to him many times during the day, i respect him, hes my best friend, and lover,and best father to our 6 children, and wonderful grandad to our 4 grandchildren,
could never ever imagine my life without Steve, and i believe he feels the exact same way about me, (well he better had....or else)[msnwink]

Hope everyone has a great valentines day tomorrow!!

LOL!!! What are you like Paul[clap][clap][clap][clap][clap]

Love is when you still want to be with someone and not feel obligated that you have to be or are. If someone feels that they invested too many years or the house is worth too much/little to split down the middle if they ended the marriage, then that's not love obviously. No marriage is completely smooth and I've always tended to think the most dullest people I've met in life are the ones who claim they have never had one argument. Thank god they found each other and not me!

...nice one Mizzy[msnsmile2]

...I love my darling Fiance Paul with all my heart.
He's my best friend and we have a great laugh together. When we are apart, I miss him terribly. He's also the best daddy in the world to our little boy Harry....and in only 6 weeks time, we'll both exchange our vows in public to let everyone know just how much we exactly feel about each other!:D:D:D

keep them coming great topic foe valentines Day

Couples who don't have argument,or lets say disagreements.
Oh!Boy don't know what they are missing
The making up can be fantastic

Toilet seat finally trained Bruce to put the seat down
The toilet roll is my niggle,when the love of my life put's a new toilet roll in the holder why does he not throw away the empty roll?always leave it there

[msnwink]

all my family are like that Barbara, always down to me to fill the loo roll holder up and put a new loo roll on the main holder!! oh and throw the empty roll away!!! but we all know that us girls do everything that really needs to be done! only way anything ever gets done!![msnwink] well properly anyway[msnwink][msnwink][msnwink]

Know`n each other since we were 12.Started "courting" at 14 married at 18, 30 years later and still going strong.Were do the years go!!

Norma.

Oh Barbara that's one that gets on my nerves, Tony never misses the pan his life wouldn't be worth living if he did, he always puts the seat down on the toilet but my lot think there is a toilet paper fairy who comes in and replaces empty rolls.[msnmad]
We argue almost every day, I don't know why as I'm so placid and laid back[angel]

Met Ray when I was 16 and he was 18, it took him a year to convince me to go out with him, we got engaged when I was 18 and married when I was 20. This July it will be 19 years and we have 2 wonderful sons. As he is away so much for work it makes me appreciate him more when he is home.[msnsmile2]

There certainly are - won't depress you all with my sorry love-life tales [msnwink] [msnwink]

On about the toilet paper fairy, she visit`s our house too Paula as we have a gremelin that eats toilet paper.We have two daughters and one has her own place but visits often, and as quick as a toilet roll is put on it disapears. Not braggin but we have four toilets in this house and you can bet your life there will be at least one with no toilet paper left.

Norma.

After 34 years together and nearly 28 years married, I can honestly say it just gets better and better:)

Could not agree more Liz.

Norma.

I met Bruce when I was 15 he was 18 he was more mature than the boys I had dated previously, 6 weeks later he asked me to marry him we got engaged when I was 16
Married when I was 17,many people ask why did you get married so young
We wanted to be together, way back then you didn't live together.
if we had, I would have been classed as a slut living in sin.
[msnwink]

How the times have changed Barbara.[msnwink]:D

I thought I was a child bride at 21. Looking back we had a mortgage at 21 married at 22 and didn't have our first baby until we were 26. We should have travelled a bit more but I suppose we can do that when the girls have grown up.

Paula, That has brought back memorys a mortgage at 21. We had our first mortgage when we were 18 and it was £69.60p a month.That was for a two bedroom semi. What could you buy for that now!!

Barbara, we were the same ages when we met, 15 and 18. A strict but caring Mum and Dad made us wait until I was 18 to get engaged and until I had almost finished my training to get married at 21. I could have got married against their wishes I know but I preferred to have their blessing. I often pull my Mum's leg about making us wait....she doesn't remember, she is 84 and her memory is not all it was. My Dad died 18 years ago, but I know he would have been proud that we made it this far[msnsmile]

Love is coming home to bacon rolls on a cold Saturday morning when you have been working the nightshift![:I]

sounds great to me CDV!!!


such slushiness here tonight!!!! all getting acrried away with valentines, just heard youngsters on the local radio saying they should do away with it!![msneek] no its all in good fun!!!

married Steve when we were both 19, and had our first baby at 20, rest is really history, 26 years of marriage this april

In this day and age its great to hear of so many long term marriages, and that the couples are still so glad to be together.[msnsmile2]

Our first mortgage was £16.10 shillings
Liz my mum and dad wanted us to wait ,but I had the perfect excuse
They had married after only 6 weeks of knowing each other.my mum was 17 my dad 19. My dad was a regular in the army,was wartime he was being posted to Austria didnt' know when he would be back
They were together for nearly 50 years before my dad died so it worked for them.
So they gave their blessing,it worked for us too
[msnsmile2]

didnt get my parents blessings wasnt speaking for a long while, but mums gone and dads very happy with steve and i, he loves us both and all the perishing kids and grandkids!!

Barbara

i have been married for 14 years now and like Paula i married in my early 20's

we had a house for almost a year before we got married(it was being built)and neither myself or my huband wanted to live in it until we got married

we spent many a night after work driving up to visit our "plot" and it was lovely to see our little house being built as we sat in the car and planned our wedding[msnsmile]

Mizzy

After reading all these stories I feel like an old lady, Brian and I did not get married until I was 30 and that is thirty years ago this year so I have my 60th birthday and 30th wedding anniversay this year, I keep asking what are we going to do for them but get no answer so will just have to wait and see. I agree those couples who say they never argue it must mean their life is very dull, we have very lively discussions and often end up totally disagreeing but at the same time respecting each others point of view. As for waiting for him to come home at the end of the day we worked together and are now both retired so have nearly spent the whole of the 30 years together - friends often say we must be mad - and I do sometimes agree.

Jill

No, not mad. Just very lucky. I'm sure they're secretly jealous. :D
