Slowly, the current generation seems to lose the true essence of the emotion called love. They are now more pre-occupied with their selves that love is no longer the main reason for having someone in your life.
People nowadays enter into a relationship for the purpose of security, wealth, vanity, and even stature in society. Some desperate people even use the internet to look for their partner in life. Most of these people seek out the foreigners without even knowing that sometimes these foreigners are more desperate than they are. Mostly if not all, this kind of relationship ends up as a failure for both parties.
Many Filipinos marry foreign nationals in order to have a legal right to stay, live, and work on a foreign land. This kind of set-up is also known as marriage for convenience. If they will just be honest enough and say how they truly feel about their decision, I am sure that deep within their hearts, something is lacking in their life.
Politicians and rich business people enter into lifetime partnership for a better vantage point in the world they live in. As long as both parties will gain something, whether political career or growth of their business empire, then love can be arranged. In the end, this kind of set-up leaves both parties with an empty life and an empty heart.
The younger generation goes for vanity. We always see nice looking couple together feeling so madly in-love with each other and separate after several years. When the good looks and sexy figure are gone, so is their presumed love. They then end up having so many relationships for they just don’t know what they are really looking for.
The number one enemy of love is selfishness. When someone thinks only of his own welfare and not the welfare of his partner, then the relationship is bound to fail sooner than expected. True love dwells on sacrifice for the welfare of their partner. A person truly in-love doesn’t care for his/her own welfare for if the other party is truly in-love, she/he will reciprocate taking care of his/her welfare.
Actually, reasons other than love only prove that you are not really in-love but just infatuated. True love goes beyond reason; it doesn’t see right or wrong for everything is just perfect for someone who is in-love. Most of the time, lovers are perceived to be under a spell or some kind of magic. It is because love creates magic, that’s why it can conquer everything including your own self.
SIGNS OF A TRUE LOVE:
1. You change yourself to become better for the delight of your partner instead of nagging your partner to change for your own delight.
2. Giving the best you can instead of waiting for him/her to give his/her best.
3. You are not tired of saying how much you love and care for him/her even he/she is tired of hearing it from you.
4. Memories of the past bring happiness in spite of the passing of time.
5. Believing that your partner and your relationship will face a lot of challenges and trials is a move towards perfection for expecting perfection in your partner and your relationship will only bring lots of frustration and hatred.
6. A partner is a friend and a husband or a wife rolled into one. A friend extends himself to a friend even he is wrong. A husband or a wife will surely berate a partner for a wrong doing. Shift to a friend mode relationship most of the time and shift to a husband or wife mode less. That’s a secret formula for longer relationships.
7. You see one or several qualities of your love one in other people. It means that you miss him or her most of the time and don’t get wrong on thinking that you are falling in-love with the other person. It is a common mistake that results to problem.
8. Play often and play together. You will see the child within the both of you.
9. The present and future is rolled into one. The future is not a problem; the most important thing is the present and their strength is the past.
10. Their relationship affects other people in some positive way. Their growth is the growth of others as well.

ETERNAL LOVE AFFAIR STORY;

This is a story of lola Juana. As a young lass, Juana met Romualdo in a school affair and spontaneously, both fell in-love with each other the moment they met. For them it is true love, but their parents don’t agree, for their families have a long unresolved dispute over the domain of a parcel of land.
Everyone in their families disagreed, but for the lovers, heaven and earth won’t be an obstacle to them. They eloped but were caught after several days and were separated by their own families, without knowing that Juana was already pregnant.
To cut the story short, the families were partially successful in separating the two lovers. Decades have passed and Juana and Romualdo both have ther own family. They even have grandchildren of their own. Juana stayed and lived in a foreign land, while Romualdo stayed in their hometown.
One fateful day, they met in the same place where they met before. Yes, they are now grandparents but it seems that time has never passed. The feeling of their youth and the long lost love was not lost after all. From that they on, hey never let go of each other. To add more happiness to them, Romualdo met his son and grandchildren from Juana. She gave birth abroad several months after they eloped.
But as Juana recalled, their love was again cut short by Romualdo’s death. Even if it was a short married life with Romualdo, Juana has no regrets and no trace of pain in her eyes. For them, it was the most fulfilling and joyous moment of their lives. The energy emitted by their love uplift everyone near them in that short moment of being together.
Lola Juana never tires of telling the story of their life struggle and triumph. Losing Romualdo to death is not a problem for her because having Romualdo twice in her life weighs more and she considers this as a big blessing; and remembering their past gives her strength as she waits for the day they will meet again.
That day came on the most important date of their life – Valentine’s Day. That was the day she passed away and surely, Romualdo was on the other side to fetch his love and to spend eternal love in a place where time doesn’t exist. That was the same day they first met — at a Valentine’s Ball in their school. It was the day they eloped and Juana got pregnant, the day they met again in a school grand alumni reunion, and the day they married each other. Finally, it was the same day they were reunited together eternally in heaven.
