The Aftermath Of Falling in Love.

I found this quote searching for a new quote to update my Blog with and I came across this:

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have 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 promulgation of promises of eternal passion. 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, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine

The Quote itself is from the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

Recently, people around me or that I'm close to have had to stand tests and trials when it comes to their marriages with their spouse, they stand up to things that after quite awhile make things seem almost unimaginable. further more, I am surprised at the amount of people who set these relationships up for fail with their comments, as my friend said, commenting about what seems inevitable at that time, yet not commending people for their decision to work it out between each other.

There have been for sure times that I thought, our marriage was going to end, and since I am not much on going into personal history, as I do not know who reads my blog, the people who know me well enough know what trials my husband and I have had to face when it comes to our marriage.

I am over playing blame on who's fault those almost dissolution's were. they still happened, no matter whose fault it was. but I'm also glad that those things had happened to us, because it has made me stronger, it has made my husband stronger and it has made our marriage stronger because of it.

I've never been so sure of wanting to grow old with someone in my entire life. there is no one on this earth, who makes me feel the way that my husband makes me feel and I am incredibly blessed that he came into my life. we have given each other happy healthy children and a good life so far.

I know I am still young in my marriage and so my "In Love" feelings with my husband are still there. but I know in the future, when our children have left, our credits are paid off, and we have no more obligations to anyone but our marriage and each other. I know that we'll feel the way that this quote expresses. I have found my soul mate. the person I am going to spend my life with, through those thick and uttermost thin times and it's times like these, when some people are through turmoil, that it makes me cherish, the love my husband and I have for each other. I hope through the end of this tunnel we called life, there will be a tree, with our blossoms all around us and we are intertwined as one.
