Each newlywed couple envisions love in its own way. Women as well as men are in great demand for this word but what does love stands for? This is not something we can't easily define , because each person sees it differently. This variability is reflected in all spects of life.

Love versus Sex  

Some people tend to associate love with sex, which I think ( and this is my opinion only) is wrong. Physical state of satisfaction gives you mental pleasure and self-fulfillment, but it doesn't define love. Then a good question is what is to make love? This is very confusing and that is why I think so many people define it for themselves as being wrong. When you make love you get both physically and mentally involved in the act. Your state of consciousness becomes dim and foggy and it feels like you are not in your body but both of you are new and true entity. Corny? I wouldn't say so, yeah we tend to say love doesn't exist. Or love goes away. I say it is not true it is right here, besides you. It is up to us to find or rediscover it.

When I say rediscover it, I don't mean with another partner. People are selfish and lazy, that is why we think love goes away, with time we want everything just to be there: love, attention, gentle feelings, caress. But what we forget is that all of those feelings are made by us, all those attempts to keep feelings depends on both of you as partners. If you, as a newlywed, can preserve and always maintain those ffelings no matter what you encounter in your life, it will prevail and your marriage will be prosperous.

Of course there are exceptions to the rule, when one partner cheats and the another still tries to be out there. Lots of exceptions in life, and that is why i have emphasized that both of you have to work on your feelings in marriage. And the sooner you start the faster you will get used to it.
