Labor of Love


To light the match, let’s start where everything begins. It’s an age-old question that differs with each answer. You can call it what you like. Mars vs. Venus, nature vs. nurture, Adam and Eve, but what it all boils down to is what is it that a man desires opposed to what is it that a woman desires. Is there a difference? Is there a definitive answer? YES! Each individual knows exactly what they want, what will satisfy them, what will make them happy, but it varies for each person and no two people are alike. The conundrum is finding a happy medium where you gain your heart’s desire and also fulfill your significant others’ deepest hopes and wants.

Life’s experiences have given me an opportunity to grow and learn and decipher exactly I am seeking, as well as what I have to offer. Life has taught many lessons on many levels, but the greatest of these is the appreciation and understanding of what LOVE truly can be. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 reads, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” That’s a mouth full and a lot to digest and regardless of your spiritual beliefs, I believe we can all agree that all relationships are a labor of love in some way. No matter where you may be in your relationship, you only get out of it what you put into it and every action causes a ripple effect. Think about a single drop of water landing into a larger pool of water and the resulting effect. So is it when two individuals meet and their lives suddenly become intertwined, constantly evolving, and broadening infinitely. It’s a change from U and Me to now We and here is where it’s gets interesting and what we will continue to explore.

This is for all of us, so please don’t hesitate to comment, make suggestions, speak your mind, take the polls, get involved. This is just the beginning. We will have plenty to discuss and the topics will range far and wide and cover every conceivable aspect. There will be interviews and videos soon to come as well. So, sign up, follow the site, and tell your family and friends. It isn’t just about U or Me, but all about We.

  1. I don't think each person knows exactly what they want. They THINK they know, but it's not until they get it (sometimes), that they realize it's not what they really want at all. And wants change over time as we grow. What you wanted yesterday, you may not want tomorrow. Unfortunately, this can cause a lot of friction in relationships, which I think is one reason many relationships fall apart.
