Mary asked me to write a post about love. I would first like to express my opinions on marriage. I think that marriage is a right, not a privilege. However, when asked the question "Why is divorce so expensive?" a wise man replied "Because it's worth it."
I would now like to take the opportunity to quote one of my favorite people.
"All love shifts and changes. I don't know if you can be wholeheartedly in love all the time."
-Julie Andrews
I once read an article in either Time Magazine or National Geographic Magazine that you can only be in love for a maximum of five years. It basically states that humans are not meant to be monogamous. I agree 100%. In order for a marriage to be successful it hast to be built on more than lust. Sex is fantastic and everything, but what do you have once the flames have died down? Not very much.
I don't think that this article gives anyone the excuse to run around two-timing. Love isn't supposed to be easy. If a long-term relationship is what you really want, you have to work at it. It's not something that will just happen all on it's own. In the end, it's more than just love that makes a succesful marriage, it's perseverance.

Excellent job Sonya!
Can you write something about being afraid of the dark? I remember you once telling me about it and I thought it was really cool.
