On The Loss Of 'Love'

Does 'real' love really die?
Or does it just get difficult sometimes, so difficult that it feels the only thing you can do is to walk away from it? But what is the bravest thing to do when those bad times come? What we women may have seen as a lack of choice may actually have been an act of CONSCIOUS choice by our female ancestors. Instead of leaving, they waited....they were brave and they honoured their choice of life partner, they worked at their relationships until things got better. I don't mean those relationships where there was violence or any form of abuse....that is never worth it. But to believe so strongly in the love you share that you are willing to give up on constant gratification, found in the early stages, in order to persist through the tough times and create something lasting and beautiful together.
