Love Rules

[aqua]

The first rule in Love is that you can't fall in love with someone you don't fancy.

You find someone intellectually stimulating, interesting, kind and warm. In fact, you love being with him, but… his teeth stick out. Or he's shorter than you. Honestly – do you still fancy him? Which brings us to the second basic law of human chemistry: A relationship with someone considerably more attractive than you is doomed to failure.

Squeal and shout. Protest all you like. But when it comes to finding a lifelong partner, most people end up with someone roughly in the same category as themselves on the looks and charm scale. To put it crudely, if you're about a six on a scale of 10, I'll bet good money that your partner's some where between a 5 and a 7.
What do you guys think

I agree with you on this, if you look at other couples often times if you were rating their looks you would rate them close to the same category. It's not often that you see a pretty girl with a goofy guy, or a hot guy with a goofy girl.

Basic rule in love is that you should feel attracted towards your partner. You should feel like meeting him, sharing with him, going out with him, shopping for him, giving him pleasant surprises, etc. The day when you feel ignoring him thats the end of your relationship.

And I must know this. I know all of you are saying, God, isn't there anything she hasn't experienced already. hah-hah.

Yeah, at 54, I better have some experiences on love and life. And, yes, you can fall for someone that someone else makes fun of. We are not perfect, but in love, we all are the same. Finding the beautiful in someone is finding love in that person.

I wasn't suppose to marry my first husband. He was of a race my parents shunned for us to marry into. But I did it anyway. My second marriage was to a man that my friends connatated as "little frankenstein." I would laugh with my friends, but deep down, I loved him. I kept my relationship with him a secret from my friends. I didn't feel like being questioned, or have him harrassed. Twenty four years later, I am still married to him and we have two beautiful children.

My life is getting ready to change again. My children are now 22 and 20 and both are moving out of the house. Will we remain together or fall apart. The children have kept us together, on so many occassions.

Love does rule!

Sincerely,

Audrey C. Smith

I agree.

Not only do you find someone on the same level as you in general but you also find someone who compliments both your weaknesses and strengths in every aspect. That is very apparent with my husband and I. We compliment eachother very well. :D
