@Triste Joven,
My philosophy about love is pretty much that you shouldn't make a philosophy about it, because it isn't really quantifiable.
But I know one thing: Love, the kind of love where you stay together through hard times and good times alike, draw strength from each other and strengthen each other in turn, is not some magic matter of meeting just the right person. It is a choice.
I think one of the reasons divorce statistics so high, and ever on the rise, is that people today don't know this. They think of love as something magical that doesn't have to be worked on.
