I Am a Passionate Person

I think we often marry too young before we're fully aware of our needs and what we truly want in a relationship. It's not as much settling as it is getting married before we know better

I made my choice at the time, and I chose wisely in many ways. He's a good man who treats me well, loves me completely, and we enjoy each other's company. But it's not the passionate love I now crave. Sometimes I wish I didn't know how good it could be, and I wish I never learned how cruel life can be.

I want that too, so much. I didn't think I'd settled until I realized what I was missing. I don't think I'll ever find that again, so I'm just trying to be grateful for the good I do have in my life. Some days are easier than others.

Or believing what those older and supposedly wiser tell you about what's important in a marriage...

and allow them to push us into settling down with a nice boy who comes from a good family.

@Linda: The trouble with settling for less is when that right person sweeps into your life and turns your world upside down when it's too late for both of you

Wow! What a great description. The passion. The chemistry. Minds and bodies coming together in a beautifully timed explosion.

For me I think it was a combination of marrying before I really understood everything I wanted in a spouse and thinking I was closer to finding it than time has shown I was.

It is, specially when you're both passionate people stuck in passionless marriages. If you're still single, wait, don't settle for anything less.

Most settle for less, maybe it's not having enough patience waiting for that special someone who just rocks your world...

You are so right. Looking into each other's eyes, into the soul. Bodies connecting in intimate ways. Electricity in the room.

I agree 100%. And once you have had the mischief and the magic of this, it's all but impossible to settle for anything else.

@Kat: Once you've had all that, you hang on to it with everything you've got because it is rare and precious.

@Dan: The best explosions happen when minds and bodies are equally involved.

This is so true. I settled for less than this too!!! i want this so badly.

Doesn't everyone want this?

You are so right. Looking into each other's eyes, into the soul. Bodies connecting in intimate ways. Electricity in the room.

you find the right person at the right time or settle for less

Yes, I would have to agree

thats the worst thing to happen with the right person

Well said Dan2kbhoi
