Life’s Like This — Even the prettiest flower will wilt one day; it’s nature’s way of teaching us that nothing lasts forever. Love is like a wilting flower — if you sever the stem providing the nourishment for its growth, it too will wither and die. The seeds of love often spring forth with a beauty that is unique and precious in the eyes and heart of the beholder. The experience of a romantic love can captivate your heart and sometimes blind you to the realities of life. As precious as romantic love can be, the essence of true love is often tested when the emotional high subsides and you come face-to-face with the stark reality of blending the lives of two people who are bonded together in a spirit of love. We all want love to last forever and we all want to hold onto the feelings that led us to love the person we have devoted our lives to. But as the days, months, and years pass, we often begin to take love for-granted and as a result, the wilting phase of our love begins. And when that happens, we are often unaware that the wilting process has even begun, and that lack of awareness can be the biggest factor that ultimately leads to the loss of a love that you once held dear to your heart. Love is more than emotions — it is a gift of your will — it is a choice. If you want to preserve the love you have for someone, you need to be alert to the warning signs that can blindside your relationship.
