Where has the spark of love gone?
During the period of dating and a few years of marriage you think you are in real love with your partner. You think that you are both made for each other and that you are the perfect couple in the world. After a few years have gone by, you may have children by then and become more responsible and sensible. Nevertheless something is missing. Yes, the spark of love has disappeared. Why?
Real love means living for each other without any expectations from him/her. But in real life there seems to be no real love. Men and women get attracted to physical elements and other social factors such as financial status, characters and education. They assume that they are in love.
However after years have gone by after marriage you come to realize that your partner is not living up to your expectations.
There is yet another selfish factor which affects a relationship. We expect our partner to be the perfect person, though we do not try to be perfect ourselves.
There was a man who wanted to marry a perfect woman. He went in search of her from east to west and north and south across his country until he was seventy years old.
One of his friends asked him whether he did not meet his perfect woman all these years. He told him that he saw a perfect woman only once. His friend instantly asked him why he did not marry her then. He replied, “She wanted to marry a perfect man”
If you are successful in finding real love with your spouse then you can extend this love to your children, relatives, friends, other people, animals, plants and finally the Universe, that is God.
So, my dear friends, its quite simple, cultivate a close relationship with your spouse and share real love for it is the first step to reach God.

vijayanths, it's a topic
vijayanths, it's a topic everyone should be aware of. somewhere in the fast paced lives, we lose ourselves. to truly love is to come back to our true nature and begin to love life all over again. what does it matter whether 2 years have passed or 20 or 50. we're still bright and sparky inside.
Keep up the great work and keep visiting other blogs...
Wishing you happiness always!

Vijayanth, a good observation
Yes, we all go through the same phases in life. We meet, we love and we marry. After a no. of children we find the glitter and glamour in marriage has vanished because we are busy making ends meet and trying to cope with day to day problems. We find very little time to think of each other as a couple for we have to sacrifice more for the family as a whole.
Thanks for the thought provoking article on love and marriage.
