Sometimes Love is just ain't Enough

Second time around, I confirm this.

It is just not. There are other things that we need:

• Maturity
• Communication
• Respect
• Trust
• Loyalty
• Honesty
• Support
• Resilience
• A binding promise

The above is just the tip of the iceberg.

We probably need to throw in money in there somewhere. Or good financial planning.

And health, and be good to look at, and must contribute to the marriage/ pull our weight.

We can still be here in the next 24 hours and I'm sure we will add something to the list.

Effectively I have lost faith in love. The everlasting one is from parent to child, and to a lesser extent between siblings. With husband & wife, it's kind of 50-50/ touch & go.

Much respect to husbands who took care of their wives well long into their golden years and beyond. I haven't found that guy, and do not wish to find him at this point to be honest.
