The
"In Love" Experience. Real or Just an
Illusion?
The "in love" experience, which leads most of us to get
married, is an emotional obsession that leads us to the conclusion that we
have married the most wonderful person in the world. It’s an illusion,
but it seems real, and it is one of life’s greatest emotional highs. But
why doesn’t it continue after marriage? Because it is an
illusion. That is why, before marriage, your mother could see their flaws,
but you could not.
Your mother said: "Darling have you considered that he’s always
late? You reply, "Oh Mom it doesn’t matter. He is so much fun when
he does get here." But when the illusion is gone, It does matter, and
you start saying: "Why are you always late?" He is blown out of
the water. He hasn’t changed. It is just that the illusion is gone.
The in-love illusion is temporary. It’s average life-span is two
years. This doesn’t mean that love is destined to die. It does mean that
we must now work at keeping it alive. Tomorrow, I’ll share some ways to
do that.
