.... so what is that?



(I've had a few. )

I was going to say are you being cynical but I have just read your comments in the bar and realise that you have been celebrating.

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
It is not self-seeking, nor easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongdoing.
It does not delight in evil,
But rejoices in the truth.
It always protects, trusts, hopes, and preserves.
There is nothing love cannot face;
There is no limit to its faith, hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things that last forever:
Faith, hope, and love;
But the greatest of them all is love.

And that will almost certainly be the only time I ever quote from the Bible...cheezy, but that passage is so true

I like that.

If you are meaning love for another person, then.....it's a bit like falling asleep - creeps up on you. You know when you in love after you've got there?

The other day I read an article that described love for another person as a feeling of fusion and oneness.

All I know is that my OH's happiness is more important to me than anything and together we achieve far more than we ever would alone.

He doesn't judge me and encourages me to try new & different things. He stops me hiding under my duvet too much when I'm being wet but doesn't mind when I am tired and just want to stay in bed.

Mainly, I just feel loved and appreciated.....and comfortable.....he is absolutely my best friend in life.

Ok, all a bit slushy but the poor guy has just had to spend his evening in Homebase working out how to do bits of DIY.

Aaaaahh - don't tell me you're still newly weds

You have just described my relationship with my wife.

I know for a fact I don't function well at all without her.

Cheers

Thanks HWP - now I have that Howard Jones song playing in my head....

What is lu-u-u-u-u-u-u-uve anyway....

OK, I'll get my coat

Just seeing the two of you together It shows.

Is it that obvious?

Well there goes my reputation as the "Canadian Curmudgeon".

I couldn't remember where in the bible that was (to my shame) so googled it ...

....and found this.

...which made me cry as I remember leaving my parents to rejoin my family out here last year.

Yep 'fraid so.
Just hope me and Mrs C are as 'in love' when we get to your stage in life

Thank you.

It looks to me like you are the right track.

It's from 1 Corinthians 13 v 4-8

She thinks so as well. (at least as long as she gets her own way )

BTW I would appreciate the CS offer when you get back from the coast.

No, afraid not.

Been together 11 years. He very bravely took me home for the weekend, asked me out and we've been together ever since through thick and thin. I also would be lost without him, HM.

Just realised it will soon be our wedding anniversary - 6 years...took him much longer to propose! With his arm twisted!

Lovely bloke, I could go on, I won't!
