true romance

the fact of the matter is...you have just about two years (maximum) after you "fall in love" for the relationship to be developed and cultivated to the point of maturity...if this has not happened by this time...the emotion of "love" will have worn off...leaving you with a hollow an empty shadow of a romantic relationship...roughly translated...you have to employ healthy and strategic weapons  to cultivate the relationship into a healthy and strategic direction...these are : community...(love as an island onto itself will grow stagnant like a swamp with no rivers leading to it).../ transparency...(secrets in  intimacy...are cancer).../ giving...(only as we give do we truly receive) / forgiveness / and ...faithfulness...everyone thinks they are exceptions to this dynamic...they are not .
