I would like to hear about your opinions if there is differnce between falling in love and growing in love? And do you think it really matters? If you would like to share. Humour is acceptable and even encouraged
You. Marry because. You really like that person. To really love that.person. Begins. Over time.............their good. Heart/understanding/manys. Things where you feel comfort. And wanted........... Jmo
I can do without the falling part myself, it ain't really that important; still a nice cherry on top if you're that lucky. What would be nice however is if you parmanently stay just a little bit in love forever.
Yes there is a difference, and the growning part the most important. It has to come naturel though or you're with the wrong one. Both must pitch in with ease. As closer to 50/50 the better, never more tilted than 60/40. It's ok if one is just a tad more eager but never 80-20, as the simping and everything will mean certain doom of that rel. jmo
I have always thought that in love is the same as twitterpated, meaning you have a crush on someone....
If it is the right person you will grow to love them more, with each passing day. I had that with my late husband....we grew to love each other more as time went on.
Looking back, the only other relationship I had since he passed - I did not love him, nor did I like him. I did not respect things he did, or who he was.
"You can't ever 'fall' in love. True love is never a fall, it can never be a decent. Infatuation, obsession and attachment are usually what happen in reality, and then given the term 'falling in love'. True love in a relationship will never include infatuation, obsession and absolutely no attachment. There isn't the feeling of falling, but an 'uplifting'. There is no sense of confiinement but a real sense of freedom within the relationship. There is no 'heat' but a coolness and strengh that endures through all circumstances and events."

I believe for me I have to grow into love also. Maybe it would be easier if one could just fall
Mercedes_00: I was going to fix my post but I'm sure you know what my last sentence was meant to say
Nope no need to fix it
I have been in love one time in my life and I grew to love him. Started out a little slow but when it happened it was worth the growing
pedro27: the back round settings have to be right to fall in love,
Growning in love, there is a history, prior to being in love, like companionship
Falling in love, could be anything from lust to a virus
Yep I do agree. I have fallen many times and I must say it has never been a good experiance. Usually end up with broken bones So nope I don't think I would be the falling in love type.
bodleing2: Or a temporary psychosis....
That would explain it
MysteriousGirl80: I would classify any romantic love as "falling in love" whether fleeting or everlasting. Lust is different.
I think "true love" comes from the kind that you grow into. Usually the faster you fall, the faster it burns out.
Mostly from what I have seen that is true. The faster you fall the faster it burns out. Yet I have a friend who met and married a man she only new three days. That was eighteen years ago and they still seem very happy. Guess we could call that shear luck
pedro27: At this stage, I would be classed as a ''born again virgin ''
I believe quite a few of us would be

I married my husband thinking I loved him and somewhere in the years it grew and grew. One day I knew I was madly in love him. We use to refer to ourselfs as still on our honeymoon. I laughing would tell him I would let him know when the honeymoon was over. When I knew the time was close and I had to let him go. I bent over and whispered in his ear how much I loved him and appreciated him. How worthwhile his life was and he could go now. That I would be ok if the honeymoon ended. I had known him since childhood. I will never know what magic made our life as wonderful as it was. The one thing I learned towards the end is that it is easy to love someone in the good times, but you know it is true love when you love them in the difficult times

vyoleta: Love is love, it is just the way of expression it.
I gave this some thought and yes, I see what you are saying and yes, love is love. If we are lucky enough to find it may it be cherished and treated as the rare thing it has become
