Is it love?

Will you love him, if he becomes a beggar? Will you love him, if he becomes disabled and you have to take care of him? Will you love him, if he will be on fire and his face will be disfigured? Will you love him no matter what?

This is not the questions of any romantic book this is how my mom raised me. She taught me what love should be unselfish. Love - is not external material happiness, love - a gift which was not given to many people. Love - not for wimps. (Read the start of the topic). Love - is the art of giving. Love - it’s not selfishness, it does not desire to get something in return! No. Love is …. Love - it’s not sex and not carnal pleasures. Sex - is a consequence of love and expressions of feelings. Love - a union of souls, this understanding, acceptance and love for the shortcomings of your second half. I often hear from women such phrases as: “I do not like how he leaves the toothbrush on the sink,” or “he has unattractive feet” or “I hate when he hugs me.” You know, if even a little thing causes you irritation - it is NOT LOVE! When you love a person - you love him completely. You can not say for what you love, and you can not say that you do not like in this man. You start to love his shortcomings.
Today I have brought an interesting formula of love for me and Nastya. I do not know which of the girls, it just fits. “Love - is when you can wash the socks of loved one by your hands.” You know why I came to this conclusion? In my life there were only two men with whom I was in a relationship, but I do not wash and do not want to do it for any of them. And I realized - I did not love! I did not love these two men! Because only one I liked - his eyes, or rather not the eyes themselves, their color. That’s it! Girls and boys! I didn’t like his body, I didn’t like his voice, I didn’t like his manners, I didn’t like his walk, I didn’t like to watch how he eats, I didn’t like it when he watched TV all the time. But I felt for him feelings. But now I realize that this is not love. About the second guy I just don’t want to speak. He was a toy-boy. With whom, I just started playing, in desire to kill the pain in my heart of true love. In this guy I didn’t like anything! Absolutely! You know, he was not even my type! And we talked with Nastya today about the relationship of love and socks - yes, dammit, it’s love! And let the feminists throw a brick or dynamite to me but if you love, you’ll wash socks!
Ah yes, the girls who are in relationships, and boys, in principle, also, answer the questions themselves at the beginning of topic. And you’ll know - love it or not!
In general, you know, yes, I’m old fashioned! I believe in the sacred love, I believe in the union between a man and a woman, I believe in trusting relation and lack of deception. I believe that a husband and wife are really two halves of one whole. It is one soul, one life for two people, one love. Upbringing? Yes! When I was a teenager, my mom said, watch the movie “Can not say” Goodbye! “The old Soviet movie. No special effects and beautiful actors. But she told me - watch this film and you’ll know what love is. And I realized! Yes! And I can safely answer that I’ll love him even if he becomes a beggar, I will love him even if he becomes disabled and I have to take care of him, I will love him even if his face will be ugly from the fire. I will love him no matter what. And yes, I would not have refused to wash his socks!
