Ah, yes... Let's see the famous Romeo and Juliet... I agree GLW

Love is a complex animal. No matter how hard we try to understand and decipher it, it will never compare to feeling it through internal emotion over the physical body.

Spoken by a true believe of such a complex animal!

Read books? What about Jane Eyre?

You're right in the sense that life is not a fairy tale. But plenty of couples are happy or even better yet, content. But I think I have said enough on this point.

I'll keep reading...

Love is the fuel of happiness. But why, dear friends, does it burn so quick...

Do other parents love? Or do they all just use the word "love" because they feel like they should? I know what affection, respect, admiration, and so on, are, but what is love?
