What Is Love?

My husband and I have had the type of year with some of the highest highs and lowest lows. These were all outside factors and I was pleased to see our relationship only grow from recent experiences.

I just sat down to compose a card to him and to leave him a little baggy of goodies in his truck so he would be surprised tomorrow morning. I started with a question:

"What is love? What does it feel like? A friend once asked me this and it took me a moment to think of OUR love and then it struck me. Our love is like a favorite song. When it comes on the radio, you begin singing along, joining in, knowing all of the words as you're comfortable with them -- then the chorus hits, loud and exciting; while your whole body feels the joy. Your happiness radiates through you and fills the space you're in. You smile. You laugh. The song ends and you feel fulfilled, energized, light in a way. You would give anything to have the song start right back over so you can feel it all again. My love for you is like a song and I could listen all day long."

Dr. Laura, thank you for nagging me to be my husband's girlfriend and leave little treats like notes and homemade snacks in his car. He does the same thing for me and we are so happy because of it. Keep up the good work!
