How do you define love? The majority of Americans answer with something that involves feelings or emotions. And that is where the problem lies. Love itself is not emotion.

O....M...G...!...Finally! Do you know how long I've been waiting for someone to say that? It's good to know that I'm not crazy for thinking that, or at least that I'm not the only one who thinks this. In fact, it's much more than just emotion. It's sacrifice, effort and a whole host of other things that it seems that people these days have no idea why they stick together but, if my folks were able to stick together for 25 years so far, go through their fights, their tantrums, their not standing each other, and still be together, that to me is love.
