Marriage is an institution where two bodies meet and we take vows of sharing our lives to each other. But its a bliss when its a marriage of two hearts and minds. Lack of this very thing results in the break-ups and you see many many divorces, especially the LOVE marriages. Now, if it is LOVE marriage then why would it break? The reason is the lack of love itself! Most of this love marriage happen because of the physical attraction and a decision taken in haste. Once the physical hunger is satisfied then they feel nothing left between them. Thats were the mental understanding between the two and the your hearts comes to play. You understand each other and respect your feelings that keeps the relation alive. Thats what I call a true marriage, the marriage of hearts and minds.

It is a feeling that grows over the time and thats what the true love is all about. You know each other better and there is a sense of respect and trust that binds you all along. If you do not have feelings for each other then its no point of being together and its better to stay apart.

Love also is not just a male and female union. Love could be between anybody to anybody. A child loving his/her mother is a love, a grand pa loving his grand sons/daughter, a brother loving his sister etc. Now, there is nothing called sex that is involved in these relations. So I think sex is nothing to do with love. The thing that is more involved here is feelings. So, I think its feelings that is most important aspect for the love to be successful.

As love is about the feelings between human beings, it does not even matter whether you are of a different religion or caste or creed or race to love each other. Feelings are irrespective of these factors. Its a commanility that each human possess.

Everybody in this world needs love and has that feeling within him/her. Some may be able to express it but some may not as it depends more on the type personalities that they are. Everybody in this world deserve it.

Whats the similarity between love and hatred? Both are contagious. Both spread to one another when thrown out. But where as hatred is on the negative side, love is towards the positive side.

Try to have some hate talks about somebody with a person, his/her mentality will also change as of yours or talk something praiseworthy about anyone, that person will start liking him/her.
