TRUE LOVE
 As society is ever changing, so are promises and vows!! This has never been so evident as it is in this present day as we watch the news about the scandel of our president, Bill Clinton!!
 Time has evolved from pre-arranged marriages, where money and position were the key and love, if it blossomed was an added bonus!! The thought of divorce was practically unheard of and brought scandal to the family. In the day and age we live in, a lot of people don't say their vows with the same solitude they once did!! Divorce has become so easy that a lot of young (and older) couples stand at the altar facing their partner, saying their vows, and thinking "Hey if this doesn't work, I can get out!!"
 Materialism is one of the major factors effecting relationships today!! Couples are in such a hurry to have it all (big house, fancy furnishings, expensive electronics and the fancy cars) that they live to work instead of working to live!! This puts a strain on couples when there is little or no quality time together due to heavy work schedules. Mounting bills and arguments over money are equally devastating!! Children can also add tension if the couple is not prepared for the responsibilty. Hopeful couples decide to have a child as a symbol of their love for one another, while others have them to try and heal an already unstable relationship. The latter reason ends in hurt for the innocent children, who now feel unloved and somehow to blame for mommy and daddy being a part!! Children can be a great joy if both the man and the woman are ready and prepared for such a great responsibilty. They need to be aware their days of coming and going at will and sleeping peacefully through the night will be over!! They are totally responsible for the health and well being of this little person!! It requires great patience and an abundance of hugs and kisses!! If the relationship is already strained, patience may already be in short supply!!
 Marriage is a total committment to one another. It is not something to be taken lightly. Before you take such an important step, stop and think about the vows you will be making to each other!! ;ie to love, honor and cherish...in sickness and health...for richer or poorer...forsaking all others til death do you part!! Then ask yourself these questions!! I was married for 16 years and gave my marriage my all!! It ended cruelly and abruptly with my husbands infidelity!! Not only was I devastated, but so were my 2 sons!! I never thought I would open myself up to anyone again!! Then Mark came into my life and I realized what "true love" truly was!! He valued my opinions. He did little things to let me know he was thinking of me (notes..cards..flowers..little stuffed animals), he took me on little surprise adventures, he included me in our finances and even trusted me with handling them. He showed me how special physical love could be by putting my needs first!! He made me his partner...not his follower!! I equally enjoy sharing and doing for him!! Once I felt a part of me was missing, but now I am complete!! We are dedicated to each other and our love grows with each and every day!!
Love is what we all seek and desire!! My heart had been battered and bruised Forever and a day...love Lynne
