I am a wedding planner. I am the one who creates the fantasy world of the perfect wedding and for me to do that I need to keep my feet planted firmly in reality. Women spend their whole lives dreaming of their wedding day, and it’s my job to make that dream come true. The name of our company is Affairs of the Heart and our slogan, “Happily Ever After… Begins With Us!” is so true. Happily Ever After does begin on the wedding day. That I can guarantee. The cold reality is that there is no real guarantee that it will last. It’s all based on this thing called Love.
What is Love? Does anyone really know? We know a mother’s love, the love you have for your siblings and your friends. What about this love that you have for a significant other? Is it like we see in the movies or like we hear in the love songs? Who really knows: Webster, Dr. Ruth or Luther? The Webster’s Dictionary says love is “an attraction based on sexual desire: affection and tenderness felt by lovers.” Sounds good. Dr. Ruth thinks it’s all about the sex. And Luther told us that “It’s So Amazing,” it’s “Here and Now,” “Love Won’t Let Me Wait” and it’s “Always and Forever.”
I’m sure you have heard people say that they have fallen out of love with someone. I believe that it isn’t possible to fall out of love. If you truly love someone… that love will always be there. You may realize that a relationship isn’t healthy for you; You may choose not to be with the person anymore… but the love (if it was real) will still be there.
Is love real or is it just an illusion? You have all these feelings for all various people throughout your lifetime how do you tell which is the real thing? Just something to think about.

I think that true love involves choosing, ever day, to love that person and cherish that relationship. So, in that regard, when we “fall out of love” I would venture to say that we mis-managed our love by expecting to be sustained by a feeling instead of actively giving of ourselves to the relationship and the other person. Love is so much more than a feeling.
