Love Language: Quote Pick of the Week

“Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed 
We vowed our true love though a word wasn’t said 
The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies 
Except for the few that were there in your eyes. 
The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn 
The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on 
Could we but relive that sweet moment sublime 
We’d find that our love is unaltered by time.” 

~ lyrics to “The Anniversary Waltz,” composed by Dubin/Frankl

Love Language: Quote Pick of the Week

When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots are become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of the day. It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. No… don’t blush. I am telling you some truths. For that is just being in love; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away. Doesn’t sound very exciting, does it? But it is!
