Are You (Still) In Love?

October 10th, 2008 · by Sonnie · Of Love, Salt and Light

6 Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.

7 Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give
all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.

- Song of Solomon (Song of Songs) 8:6-7

Sometimes, when couples have been married for a while, busy raising kids and making money, they tend to to lose the passion of falling in love…

  1. The transition from being lovers to partners is hard…

  2. Oh sorry, I thought you were just married last year. I’ve read your post about “Love and Marriage” and I’m glad that you believe in marriage and commitment.

  3. Hi Icezorg,

    Looks like I’m not the only one from the old school :-D

    But you’re absolutely correct, marriage is totally a different ball game. Commitment makes marriage work…

  4. hmmm (that love feeling)..it’s too broad…too confusing…i thought it only happens in the movie – a love that turns sour & bitter, but becuase of moral issues/ values, we tend to really stick to what we call commitment..

  5. Hi J,

    As social creatures, we long for someone we can be with when we get older. Siblings will have their own family. Kids will build their own family. Parents will die.

    Only a deeply committed relationship to a stranger is an option, if we do not want to become a burden the peeps I mentioned above.
