Eternal Love

Amazing, my parents have known and loved eachother since they were 19. This year, they are celebrating their 40th wedding day (and when they got married the had already known eachother for some 5 years). And, as far as I am informed, no relationship-problems of any major importance have passed their way.

Having spent 4 days with them, it´s amazing how they are glued together and are united as one. They still look at eachother with enormous affection, they touch often and laugh all the time. True happiness. It´s very touching, and I am incredibly happy for them and for me and my sister who have such parents. Role-models.

Almost too good that makes me think that this might inhibit me from involving, since I compare everything with them and I feel that I want everything like it has been for them. But what do I know anyway? People are different, and our generation is different and, most importantly, the world is different. Especially my world.

people might be different, lovely, but true love has never changed. Nor will it ever. The only thing that has changed is our society and the casualness with which love is treated these days. Such a shame!
Congratulations to your parents!

hallo angel! good to hear from you. I agree with you, but maybe this is how the world has evolved? Maybe people were more in need of eachother before, but with today´s independency, for both sexes, this has become less important. S, what is now required is "only"... extremely and unconditional love, and this sure puts pressure on relationships!!
