Perplexing Situations

"Love is like a river, always changing, but always finding you again somewhere down the road." Kelly Elaine

This quote is very relevant somewhere in the world.  My question would be, what happens when it finds you and has changed so much that its too complicated to survive?  When love meets reality, how do you keep it from perishing?  Love is the most beautiful, yet elusive emotion of my life.  I will be thirty in the coming months and have yet to be in a relationship where me and whoever are in love at the same time.  This seems to be the "good women anthem" now days.  I find that all the sane, successful, beautiful women are always the ones who are left alone until the man realizes that she was the one he should have been with all along.  Unfortunately, by the time he realizes it, he's either started so much of a life with the wrong chick, his love for the right one has to wait until "things get straightened out" or there's been so much heartache from the breakup that there's no way renounce his actions.  Now don't think this is me on the defense and man bashing, I'm just wondering about the universe's methods on dividing and distributing this insanely scarce, yet life altering thing called "love."  I love the Stevie Wonder song "Love's in Need", cause we definitely need it in today's relationships.

It's crazy how life tests your love for your companion or would-be companion.  I can't believe how real life gets when you find that undeniably authentic, nakedly devoted LOVE...... You automatically know when you have found the love of your life when the worst situations come your way.  It is so fascinating what life throws at you to test your endurance and commitment to the love you have for that special someone.  I am learning that it isn't easy to stay in love through difficult situations and I envy all married couples that have made it through so many trials and tribulations.  God is such an important part of relationships and decisions and it is so important that we consult Him in times of doubt and before the times come that we just want to walk away from our situation, because either way that real love is there and will return no matter how many times we refuse it, we just have to find a way to get through the hard times.

Love is such an innate feature in humans, I just can't imagine how people swear it off so vehemently.  I will never stop longing for the day that my love for whoever, and vice versa, is made known to the world.  As jaded as I get after a breakup, the feeling is still always there and the journey continues.
