This document discusses the nature of love and relationships. It argues that love is a powerful emotion that can last forever if handled properly. While love depends on maturity and how people handle difficult times, it also has rules like not cheating on your partner. The document reflects on the author's past relationships and love experiences, as well as their grandparents' long and successful marriage, to illustrate that love can endure for many years if nurtured.

2. You just don’t stop loving someone, either you never
did, or you always will. That’s why I believe that love is
forever. Love is a strong word and an even stronger emotion.
It can affect a lot of things in your life if handled the wrong
way. On the other hand, it can be the most wonderful feeling
you’ve ever experienced.
People say that you have to be a certain age to be in
love, I say bologna. It depends on how mature you are and
how you handle stressful situations. Love is not for the feint
of heart.

3. Like most other things in the world it also has rules.
You don’t go out and cheat on the person you love.
Unfortunately, I’ve been in that situation before. Not where I
was the one cheating, but I was the one that was cheated on.
Let me tell you, it’s not a good feeling at all. My
grandparents have been together for 46 years. That’s a long
time to be with one person. Could you be with one person
for that long?
I remember the first time I fell in love. I was in tenth
grade, fifteen years old. His name was Dorian, he was a
senior. Nobody really understood what I felt, but I didn’t
care. I was in love. Even though we broke up, I still have
love for him and we still keep in touch.

4. Although you are not with someone, doesn’t mean
that you stop loving them. My parents are no longer
together, yet they remain good friends. Loving someone
doesn’t necessarily mean “in love”. You love them as a
friend, or a person.
Statistics show that 4.1% of every thousand new
marriages in America end in divorce. People now a days
either rush into things, or just give up over dumb stuff. Love
should be taken seriously and take things slow.

5. I believe that if you want it bad enough, and you care
and love this person, you can work through just about
anything, with a few exceptions. If they had a love affair, or
if they are abusive, then let them go. Things like that are not
worth it because obviously they don’t love you as much as
they claim to.
Love is one of the strongest things you can feel in
your whole life. You are truly blessed if you have people in
your life that love you. Parents, friends, spouses, the love
you feel for someone is a strong feeling and should be taken
seriously and with care. Hearts are fragile things, handle
with love and care.
