February, the month of love. Or at least the month to show your love. "Love", what a powerful word in the english language. It's funny, when we're little kids, growing up, we're led to believe "love" the fantasy. You know, Cinderella and the glass slipper. Meeting her handsome prince, etc. Even books and movies depict "love" as something so perfect, it's unattainable in real life. At least that kind of love.
It's really no great shock that most marriages never make it the distance. When you think about it, it's really not surprising. Men and women are emotionally as different as night and day. Most women equate sex with "love". Most men equate sex with "fun". When a woman is lying in the arms of her lover, she's thinking how much she loves her man, ect. For most women, sex brings them to a higher level with their lover than they have achieved before. Men however, are different. When they're lying in the arms of their lover, they're thinking "how long do I have to hold her before I can leave".
There is nothing perfect in this life. No perfect job, no perfect life, and certainly no perfect kind of love. We all have to make do with what we have. Realizing nothing in life is perfect, and working as hard as you can each day, is not only a good prescription for life, but for love as well. Remember to never let your loved ones feel unimportant, or worse yet, uncared for. Always treat them in the manner you'd like to be treated, and never forget to talk and listen to each other.
