"Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction." ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow;
don't walk behind me, I may not lead;
walk beside me and just be my friend." ~Albert Camus

These are my two favorite quotes regarding love, for they speak of what makes a true romantic partnership. What is a romantic relationship or love relationship to you?

In my eye's it simple. A romantic relation/love relation is when both partners think for one another, act for one another, and simply do for on another. Essentially this would be my definition.

I have to agree with the part of the quote Two looking outwardly together in the same direction." I just can not see it being any other way.

The first is in my very own profile when I wrote it, D.grin

So you know my POV.

I like this one:

Someone who realizes you're two separate people, and appreciates the differences.

I just posted that one in Aesthetic Voyage. laugh We think alike on this, Yew.

Personally, I believe it's when two hearts beat as one. I've been blessed to have this twice in my life. I lost one to his meds when they changed his personality, and yet we still think enough to parent alike in all of the important ways. I lost the second to death. Both were a match for my life then, but neither would be a match for what I have made of my life now, so I seek the one who would. Someday I hope we find each other, and I have a third chance at this.

I can only agree with the last part of this. I would hate to have anyone speak or act for me, nor would I dream of speaking or acting for another.

"Love, love is a verb, love is a DOING word."
Love is essentially and actively showing the person of your affection, every day that they mean something to you....
Love is the sink in your belly when you think of life without that person....
Love is when they say the lamest thing ever and you grin cheesily like a cheshire cat......
Love is learning to live with a man with a hairy back (I renamed them briary angelwings).....
Love is embracing someones weakness and assuring them that they are fine JUST the way they are.....

Love is NOT changing yourself to adapt to another person.
Love is NOT painless but should never be a constant struggle.
Love is NOT something to be thrown away and if you have it, value it with everything you can muster.
