True Love ???

Sometime back I was having a conversation with a friend of mine, this topic came up for discussion, Love. We were debating whether there is something called Love existing between two people, obviously I am not mentioning love between parent-child, siblings etc, etc. This is about 2 people falling in love and being together, you know what I mean. We could not come to a conclusion on what it is.

If we go one step ahead and talk about True Love. Is there something called "True Love". This is a very sticky topic for me, now that I am happily married for 4 years. I begin to wonder is this a right time to ask this question? Nonetheless I am looking for answers. Most people, including my wife, may not agree with me that there is nothing called as True love. I have heard people saying True Love is selfless, timeless and so on. If you ask me, there is an expiry date for everything.

If people really believe in True love, the greatest tragedy of True love is, your true love is never your spouse, your true love is always somebody else’s spouse and the greatest irony is, even though your spouse is true love, you will always think that some else is your true love. So does it mean that True Love is someone whom you never married to?

Ok, why is there a word marriage in true love? Is marriage culmination of love and/or beginning of missing of what is true love?

Do arranged marriages have the concept of True Love? Arranged marriages, mostly in India are arranged by parents. Our parents choose the spouse for us. As most married couples start this new journey in their lives, they tend to admire and adore their spouse as they go on. Eventually they may fall in love with each other or they may tend to drift apart. In my case, my parents chose my spouse, eventually I fell in love with her. Is it true love? I don’t know. Does True love exist, I don’t know.

What does love mean for me?
Love means not to conquer her, but to see her happy and healthy, even if she is not with you.

Let me know what you think, about this topic, Love ??

Please note: Before you make your comment, make sure your spouse doesn’t know your comments or your comments are inline with your spouse . Why??? Because, I don’t know if true love exists or not, but there truly exists a divorce lawyer.
