You Know… I have been in love with this woman for almost a year now, and we were having a discussion about love and “being in love” I felt really disappointed when she said to me one night I love you but I’m not in love with you. Right away my response was …. Gee thanks now I feel like one of your friends, and she said I’ve only known you for a short while, I get the feeling that being in love to her means really knowing someone, and I tried to explain to her how being in love was the excited feeling not the calm relaxed state.

Further thoughts on cake, ice cream and love

I’ve been thinking this weekend about the comments that Phil and Katherine left on my post Love or IN Love?. And the more I think about the difference between “love” and “in love”, the more I realize how little I…

I, too, have always believed there is a huge difference between “loving” and “being in love” / “falling in love.”

“I love you,” to me involves the former – I choose to love you with my actions, caring for you in practical ways, showing my love by doing things that work towards your good, that serve you. I will stand by you through thick and thin, regardless of my feelings.

“I am in love with you,” to me, means I feel giddy and excited and wonderful feelings towards you and you alone above all others (at least at the moment!). My heart skips a beat when I hear your voice on the phone. I want you near me.

Julie, isn’t it a wonderful thing to have both with one’s husband??? Yahoo!!! Hurrah for the fantastic emotions AND commitment, loyalty and steadfastness God created us capable of. While the “in love” part waxes and wanes, the “love” part carries on chugging. Marriage is a truly cool invention.

> go back in time take my (own) hand and tell
> that Julie to make that leap of faith
I guess I’m lead to ask, if you could do that, at what point would you do so? With Ted? With someone before Ted? Is your wish specifically to do with your current relationship (and all you’ve learned from it), or speaking in general?

If choosing to “be in love” isn’t rational then on what basis do you make the choice?
