Well that’s a million dollar question and the name of a multi-million dollar song by Van Halen. A song I happen to love still to this day.
According to the song, you feel it together and it lasts forever. Although I agree with that to an extent, I do agree that true love is love that you feel together, and I believe it can last forever, although it changes from a love/lust stage (romantic, falling in love stage) to a stage than borders on boredom and routine. That stage is when it’s important to have your routines, but not get too mired in a rut, either.
The truth is there’s no way to know. I mean, I think you just know, instinctually, but so many people get confused or are too in love with the idea of being in love that they quickly get sucked in but can’t overcome the bad stuff.
We’ve had some great posts about relationships already, and next week Jill Culiner visits us to show us the grumpy side of love. But for now, I leave you with a few quotes from Burn on the Western Slope on what love (and lust) feels like for this couple.
