Writers, poets, songwriters, screenwriters, and philosophers have written about the subject of love more than any other. There are more cliches about love than anyone can possibly know of. The reasons are simple. Love is the substance of our very being. We and all things are of God, God is Love, and therefore we are also of Love. Disraeli wrote "We are all born for love...it is the principle of existence and its only end." The question then is what exactly is love?

My favorite definition of love is Swedenborg's..."Love in its essence is spiritual fire." It is the one that to me says it all. Real love has all the elements of selflessness and commitment. It is the heartfelt desire for the one loved to know happiness, peace, contentment, and to feel loved. It is the promise that the love given will protect, nurture, honor, and endure. When the love is equally balanced between two people, it is magic. One look, one touch, one kiss from the one loved makes the lover the happiest human being alive.

Kahlil Gibran defines marriage as "strings that quiver with the same music." His was a very noble and spiritual idea of love and marriage. His words from "The Prophet" should be read and absorbed and taken to heart by all people married and contemplating marriage:

you shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup

The woman's love binds her spirit to that of her husband; she pours her love into his heart, and the two become one member in the body of life and one word on the lips of God.

The unity of marriage binds two persons in a single divine spirit in the two human bodies made beautiful by youth and clothed in unison, protected by God from the anger and blame of people, with complete and perfect understanding arising from their transparent faces lighted by purity.
