It is real Cyran0! Why else would you put up with another human being 24/7? Love does change form and shape. Sometimes I'm more in love with him, sometimes he's more in love with me. When we're both on the same page, our kids are VERY embarassed, cause we're "old".

My husband and have have gone through some really amazing things, we have four children, and we've gone through some really horrible things, but we've managed to come out the other side.

We've been together a long time, we can communicate without speaking and read each others moods. I would not feel complete without him, and I don't think he'd be complete without me. I also do not think there is another person on the planet that would have put up with me all of these years and vice versa.

Some days I love him so much I can't breathe, and others I would like to strangle him, but I always love him. And luckily the strangling days are few and far between.

In this department I had very good teachers. My parents had many problems, but the one constant thing in their life was their love for each other. And they were like frikkin teenagers literally until the day my father died. On their headstone is a love poem my father found and had made into a plaque for my mother years ago.

So again, I have to say yes it is real, and when you find it you have to protect and nourish it every day.
