Kærlighed, ægteskab og fælles livsmål

I think love is something that you can feel, a very strong feeling towards another person. Its when you have certain chemistry, and a bond that no one can break. You can also love your parents, and of course we have unconditional love for them, like dogs have for us (human beings).

Things can also have a special meaning to you, so you say that you love it. Love can also be used metaphorical for example:’’I love cake’’, that doesn’t mean that you love it, just that you like it, and like the taste of it.

I also think that love is when someone says:’’I love you’’, when you are at least expecting it.

Any number of divorces taking place right before our eyes, still people wants to get married. And here's the interesting thing: Not a couple gets married with the intention of getting divorced. We all think our marriage will be successful. But statistics give a different result - one half will fail. Two questions we must ask: 1) what is the problem? 2) What should be changed? We've all heard that "love conquers all." Many couples believe in their heart of hearts that if there is enough love between them, all problems will be conquered. But this wishful thinking often leads to heartache. Experience shows that you can love someone deeply - and still chooses to get divorced. Yes, being in love helps. However, the basis for a strong marriage is created by something deeper still: sharing and pursuing mutual life goals. Even with beautiful and endearing virtues, they can still divorce due to lack of a common life goal. I've met couples who cannot agree on important - even essential - goal. For example, the wife wants a child and the man does not. What are the chances that this couple will stay together if both strongly committed to their positions? The many reasons why they got married, is still there. Both have many beautiful and endearing virtues. Both are sensitive, kind, intellectual, humorous, happy and ambitious. Still they might divorce due to lack of a common life goal - in this case, having children. Unmet goals in life destroy even the strongest marriages. Fulfillment of one's personal sense of meaning often replaces love. Without a shared life direction, can divorce be just around the corner.
