有一天，女人问男人：“你说，爱的最高境界是什么？”
男人想了说：“是生与死。你想啊，一个人可以为另一个人去死，这还不是爱的最高境界吗？”
女人点一点头，又摇一摇头。
“那你说是什么？”男人问。
女人笑道：“是习惯，当你习惯了另一个人生活中的习惯，你就真的爱上了他了。”
爱情是一个人认同另一个人的习惯。
一个女人习惯了一个男人的鼾声，从不适应到习惯再没有他的鼾声就睡不着觉，这就是爱。
一个男人习惯了一个女人的任性，撒娇，甚至无理取闹，无事生非，这就是爱。
一个人会为去迁就另一个人，甚至为对方去改变自己，这就是爱。
如果你始终不能适应另一个人的所有习惯，那说明了你并不爱他，或者你还未爱到最高境界。
当你习惯你喜欢那个人的所有习惯，例如他衣服上的烟草味，他干净的上衣，他半夜起身看足球的习惯。。。。。
那么请你不要再问“爱是什么？”这个愚蠢的问题了。
有人说：“不是爱他，而是爱有他的日子。”
习惯是爱的最终归属，亦是爱的最高境界！

two is better than one??
两个人在一起久了，就会开始忘记之前的甜蜜
也许是因为没有经历太大的风雨
所以没有什么特别的事能把回忆加深
渐渐地就会开始忘记了珍惜、体谅及包容
那么问题就会开始出现了
珍惜、体谅、包容
看似简单又容易明白的字眼，做起来却难如登天
可是一旦做到了，你们将会是最幸福的人
要得到就要付出
那些经历过、付出过、得到过的人，就会觉得
two is better than one..
而那些还在犹豫的人则会觉得
maybe two is better than one..

love and infatuation
"Infatuation is instant desire - one set of glands calling to another. Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows, one day at a time.
Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine to closely. It might spoil the dream.
Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives you strength and grows beyond you - to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by his presence, even when he is away. Miles do not separate you. You have so many wonderful little films in your head that you keep replaying. But near or far, you know he is yours and you can wait.
Infatuation says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk losing him." Love says, "Be patient. Don't panic. Plan your future with confidence."
Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. Whenever you are together you hope it will end in intimacy. Love is not based on sex. It is the maturation of friendship that makes sex so much sweeter. You must be friends before you can be lovers.
Infatuation lacks confidence. When he's away, you wonder if he is cheating. Sometimes you check.
Love means trust. You are calm, secure and unthreatened. He feels your trust, and it makes him even more trustworthy.
Infatuation might lead you to do things you will regret, but love never steers you in the wrong direction.
Love is elevating. It lifts you up. It makes you look up. It makes you think up. It makes you a better person than you were before."

love, falling in love and genuine love
Love is Not a Feeling. What? You exclaim, of course, love is a feeling. I feel it in my chest, stomach and my body tingles sometimes. Yes, those are the physiological manifestations when one has the sensation of 'falling in love.'
Falling in love and love are two different phenomena. Falling in love can be either a flash of emotions or a first step towards genuine love. "Love is misunderstood to be an emotion; it is a state of awareness, a way of being in the world, a way of seeing oneself and others." -David R. Hawkins
Falling in love is a strong instinctive attraction to a person. If it is mutual and both people work at their relationship; one day that euphoric experience called, 'falling in love,' can grow into genuine love.
The falling in love phenomena is the call of one's longing to belong, to cathect, but the object is instinctually chosen according to our ideals, dreams and etc., although one may not realize it. We usually fall in love with the person's appearance, with the way she/he walks, the way he/she talks. Sometimes we impute to our object of love some mystic illusion, ideal qualities and the more we get to know the person the less we fall for him or her. That's when the feeling of love disappears even faster than it appeared.
The more two persons get to know each other, the more comfortable they get; the less sharp, bright and exciting the falling in love experience is. Some couples continue their relationships and get married; some fall apart. It's reasonable to say that more clothes in the closet and one more toothbrush in the bathroom is the end of the falling in love phase, but it also can be the beginning of genuine love.
The euphoric feelings we call 'love' is the emotion that accompanies the experience of cathecting. Cathecting is the process by which an object becomes important to a person. Once cathected, the object, often referred to as a 'love object' is invested with our energy as if it were a part of oneself, and this relationship between oneself and the invested object is called a cathexis. One's cathexis may be fleeting and momentary. Genuine love implies commitment and exercise of wisdom. When one is concerned for someone's spiritual and emotional growth, one knows that a lack of commitment is likely to be harmful and that commitment to that person is probably necessary for one to manifest one's concern effectively. The concern and commitment to another's spiritual and emotional growth is the purest form of love. It is for this reason that commitment is the cornerstone of any healthy relationship-friends, significant others, husband/wife.
Genuine love transcends the matter of cathexis. When love exists it does so with or without cathexis and with or without a loving feeling-those bursts of butterflies in the stomach, body tingling, etc.
It is easier-indeed, it is exhilarating-to love with cathexis and the euphoric feeling of love. However, it is possible to love without cathexis and without loving feelings, and it is in the fulfillment of this possibility that genuine and transcendent love is distinguished from simple cathexis. Genuine love is volitional rather than euphorically emotional. The person who truly loves does so because of 'a decision to love.' This person has made a commitment to 'be loving,' whether or not the loving feelings are present.
It can be difficult and painful to search for evidence of love in one's actions, but because true love is an act of will that transcends ephemeral feelings of love or cathexis, it can be said, "Love is as love does." Love and non-love, as good and evil, are objective and not purely subjective phenomena.
