We'll never know what could have happened if Romeo and Juliet got married. True love starts with engagement and continues with getting married. True love, begins after you say “I do”.
Get inspired by what others say and believe about love and make love declarations that can truly show your deepest feelings for your partner.
For hundreds of years, the most often used question for a woman when she got engaged was: “How big is your rock?”
The value of the engagement ring had to exceed his income for a few months. The logic of it was the woman to have a backup plan in case he changed his mind. An engaged woman and left, had to wait for a year or more until someone else got interested in her. Because women didn't have too well-paid jobs, the size of “the rock” really mattered, being (in those times) her lifeline.
The custom of offering an expensive engagement ring is kept to this day, but today (for most) has a different meaning… or they don't know times have changed.
Today, “how big is your love?” it's much more important than “how big is your rock?”. Is it not?
A few years back, a friend of mine, told me: “Our parents had a better life than us; they didn't have too much choice or a saying about who they married; their parents and relatives decided for them.
I'm almost 30, and I can't decide who should I marry.
I like brown eyes guys, but none of those I met are fit to be my husband. I like men with a good sense of humor, but none of those I met are serious enough to build a house together.”
Shakespeare had no idea when he wrote Romeo and Juliet how much will society change, how love will change, how difficult it will become to find the perfect partner for a lifetime.
Being married is lovely when you have a spouse that loves you even when they imagine how you'll look like in your 80s. Yes, is true, many, many other things count for a successful marriage, but all of them start from being loved no matter what life changes in your physical appearance.
True love begins after you say “I do.”

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if your love and must needs have desires, let here be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart
And a song of praise upon your lips.
~ Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
♥ ♥ ♥
Love adorns itself;
it seeks to prove inward joy by outward beauty.
Love does not claim possession,
but gives freedom.
Love is an endless mystery,
for it has nothing else to explain it.
Love's gift cannot be given,
it waits to be accepted.
~ Rabindranath Tagore
♥ ♥ ♥
Love is a magic ray
emitted from the burning core of the soul
and illuminating the surrounding earth.
It enables us
to perceive life as a beautiful dream
between one awakening and another.
~ Khalil Gibran
♥ ♥ ♥
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
~ John Keats
