Yes, I have had three men in love with me in my lifetime, but the most special is my husband. My husband was most definitely in love with me practically from before we formally met (that's its own story). I would say love matures from being "in love" to a more mature, secure love (which I prefer). "In love" is exciting at the time, but there is no real stability in it. Mature love has a security and strength that resides within it. I am fortunate to be in a marriage that has settled nicely into that secure type of love now that just brings us both a lot of peace. I have watched my parents live in that kind of secure love; they'll be celebrating their 63rd wedding anniversary next month in fact. I'm very happy to say that I finally feel my husband and I have landed in that place ourselves.
