I Believe That Love Comes Unexpectadly

Please Give Me Your Opinion... There is no doubt that I am afraid of commitment..I have worked long and hard for what little i have accomplished. It is scary to me to give it all up considering the divorce rate..I ran across this online and thought it summed up exactly what many of us feel..Please give me your opinion...

“When someone is available and decent,” Page explains, “something inside us knows [this person] can get to our nest, our soul — the place where we care the most and can be hurt the most. And our unconscious gets panicked.” If you find yourself breaking up with someone awesome for no good reason, check yourself; you might be acting out of fear. After all, real love is a big deal. It involves a leap of faith, and that can be a scary thing. Those who give in to the Wave fall out of love before they even give themselves a chance to fall properly in love, and that’s kind of sad.

I thought I'd chime in on this one and give you my opinion. For starters, relationships are difinitely a challenge, mainly because we establish the connection ba<x>sed on superficial lust....it's a natural attraction, some call it chemistry. Well, if you've had several of these types of relationships, you begin to wonder when your true LOVE will walk into your life, right? Honestly, this has only happen to me once in my almost 50 years on this earth. And I can tell you with all certainty, you'll immediately go well past the superficial and straight to the pit of your gut (your soul). Fear is apart of it, although it's the kind of fear you respond to not to protect your heart but to examine, discover and amazement of the overwhelming possibility of true love.

My grandparents were married for 76 years and I once asked them what the key to their relationship was....she replied simply to say that it's two things: Communication and Intimacy. Who would have thought that's all it would take...well, that's a lot to roll into a couple of words. But she's right on the money. Think about it....when two people are truly in love, their communication (and I mean any and everything spoken honestly and openly) and intimacy (everything from holding hands, touching, a look and of course sex) are balanced and flowing.

Perhaps I've learned a lot over the years to share such virtues as these two words, but when this person come waltzing into your life and your heart melts with passion, love and adoration - you have arrived. So when it happens...remember, it's not fear...it's destiny!
