To paraphrase the great Erich Segal, "Love means always having to say you're sorry!"

Just kidding my clipper friends. I am a great believer in love. My partner Arnold and I have been together over 25 years and I cannot imagine what my life would be like without him. Sharing my hopes, dreams, disappointments and trials with him, and he with me, helps us both to grow and expand our horizons as well as our understanding of the world around us.

Two people who are truly in love, in my rarely to be humble opinion, become as one in so many ways. Someone once said that marriage or its equivalent is nothing more than a co-dependent relationship, as if that is some kind of horribly negative situation.

Only when we allow jealousies and other possessive types of behaviours to get in the way, does co-dependence become a negative. And a relationship based on those kinds of traits is hardly healthy to begin with.

Vive l'amour.

Sex without love can become routine, and due to the i in individuality being capitalized by social isolation, it can reveal it's lack of substance when passion dies. Love can make each experience unique due to the character that is revealed when intimacy, becomes subject to the provisions of honesty and trust. Sex without love is sensory and transient, and more importantly, offspring (Planned or unplanned) become subject to the the education inherent in the relationship of the parents. Still, we should not sell Love short. It can mean a different thing to each who experience it. The intimacy that sex creates, can be a source of understanding Love more fully. If we are prepared to learn. Some people talk about 'Love at first sight', but it can also grow, when people find they are compatible sexually.
